Very sad. I gave all of our five children a quilt this past Christmas. Two were very special to me. One was the last one my Grandmother started before she went blind and an other one I had worked on for 8 years (applique). My husband is my greatest fan. He always tells them how much time, energy and money goes into each quilt. He also convinced me to enter the State Fair and I did get a couple ribbons. So, my thought is you need to be picky about who you give to or what cause you donate for.
