Yes, this Christmas. I made my sister a pinwheel table runner. Made it in her colors and fabric that would go with her decor. I was extremely careful that all points were perfect, quilted it a way that made the pinwheels look like they were turning, used bird fabric on the back as she loves birds.... Also made her 12 wine coasters to match that were reversable.
Christmas morning my mom said she didn't even hold it up. She called and said, "thanks for the goodies". My friend though I gave her cookies. Her husband passed away over a year ago and I know she is still struggling; however, I don't think she should be rude. We were not raised that way. I know I will never make her anything again. :(
