I had made both of my parents throw quilts last summer. My mom had been bugging one of my great aunts for one. So I was surprised when I gave her the one that I made that she just folded it up and put it away. But then again she did the same thing when I was in high school and I made my first ever quilt which I gave to her for her birthday. She put it in a trunk and it stayed there for 30 years until she gave it back to me never used. (My daughter thinks that quilt is better than sliced bread.) My mom wouldn't let my dad use his throw quilt either until he had to go to the nursing home. So he finally got to use it for 2 months before passing away on Christmas Eve last year. He was so proud of his quilt and told everyone at the nursing home that I had made it just for him. I ended up making him a cushion for his wheelchair too to match. Moms is still unused. She could care less about how hurtful her actions are.
