I once owned a gift and local art shop on the coast of Maine. When someone came in and didn't know what to bring back for a gift, I always suggested a decorated candle. I told them that the recipient could either keep it or give it away and say they burned it if they didn't like it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Even quilters have very different ideas of a great quilt. We are polite about it though.
