I am very fortunate in that my entire family is very appreciative of my handmade items and love all the quilts I've been making for them. My family is so large, I've had to stop making for Nieces & Nephew's, but even they tell me they still have all I've given them over the years. We've always given handmade items for holidays & last year replaced a teddy bear I'd made that had been loved to death years earlier.
