thats better advice than you know. Even though making quilts is an emotional craft with love and caring poured into every stitch...turn that around to empower yourself. Instead of giving that love & caring to those who don't seem to care give it to yourself. When my dad passed a few years ago I immediately started making a quilt for my step sisters daughter..neither one of them I care for very much...but the quilt became something all together different. As I worked on it it was filled with the memories of my dad and the tears of my grief. Needless to say its one of my most treasured possessions and you couldn't tear it away from me. There was alot of healing in each stitch. Including me coming to terms with why I don't like my step sister. She was mean to me when my parents married when I was 5. Everytime I look at it or wrap up in it I'm reminded of my dad first and secondly released from that memory of her. Make sense?
