I belong to an organization at my church that is world wide and we make quilts for those who are hurting, have lost a family member or are going through divorces, etc. I have found that those are the quilts I love making the most and I do not want the recipient to know that it was me who made it. I love giving from the heart and for me the joy has always been in the making. I do not buy or make gifts only to get a "thank you", I do it because I love the person and once a gift is given it is no longer mine. I am sorry for all those who feel angered by the lack of appreciation of the recipients but please allow your heart to soften, it makes quilt making so much more enjoyable.
