This has been the most interesting thread! The only family members my DH and I exchange gifts with are my brother and his wife, my DH's family lives too far away so we just make phone calls and visit every year. My SIL is a master quilter but doesn't do small things so if I do table runners or toppers or placemats, I usually let her pick the ones she wants. I did make a quilt for a friend once and she loved it and I made a quilted jacket for another friend and she still talks about how wonderful it is so at least I'm 2 for 2! About 90% of my quilting is donated to charities.
