I am not here to be a quilt snob or tell her that she is wrong. I am trying to help my friend learn to make a better, more appreciated project. I just wanted some tools to work with from the people on the board and I thank those who piped up with ideas.
I cant blame the people that dont use or display her work. They are not visually appealing and even if the quilting is nice, you arent going to treasure some gift a colleague gave your baby if it is the colors I described. Your sister or mother may appreciate it but "it's the thought that counts only" resonates so far.
She puts alot of heart and soul into these things and I want her to receive the recognition and satisfaction you get when you know a gift or project is appreciated by those around you. If she was happy with her efforts, she would not ask for help. She knows this isnt her strength and she is willing to help me learn to FMQ.
