I am so sad that that so many have these hard feelings. We have all been hurt at one time. Quilting should bring pleasure. We have one income and very little money. I still find ways to make quilts that do not break the bank. I give all of them away,mostly to people I will never meet.
I am not saintly....far from it. It gives ME pleasure that some one will feel warm and loved. I like to play with the fabric,I can't keep making and not sharing. If I plan to make a great work of art that is very expensive that is my choice.If the person getting it does not do as I wish with it ,it is their choice.I will be sad but not angry.
You can NOT tell me that NONE of you have ever ACTED POORLY when the dream gift was not what you wanted.
