It is so discouraging! I was wondering if anyone on the board has this?
My daughter will beg/steal/take anything I make but my sons really don't care. The younger son likes the quilts, yet he lets his dogs play on them. The older son tells me that when I make something he likes, he'll ask for it. In 20 years, he's never asked!
I make quilts just cause I like shopping for fabric, having lunch out while shopping, going through stacks of books and magazines looking for patterns, dreaming about, thinking about, and pondering what I'll make. I get a rush while fondling expensive fabric. I make quilts just cause!
