I really find that not everyone is worthy of receiving a quilt. I only give to those who appreciate the time and effort put into my quilts and I don't give to those that do not value homemade things. When you put so much effort into a quilt, it is hard not to take it personally when the recipient is not as excited to get it as we are when we give it, so therefore I do not set myself up for the disappointment. This year I was fortunate enough to actually sell a quilt to a friend of mine to give to her mother for christmas. I only charged her for the cost of the materials, but in the end she was so happy she ended up paying me twice the amount than was asked for. I have to say that really made my day. She called me christmas day after watching her mom open it, her mom was so thrilled she was in tears. It was worth every stitch!
