I recently made a quilt for my other half's cousin for a wedding gift. We didn't attend the wedding but gave it to her at a family gathering afterwards. When she took it out of the bag, she was excited because she loved the colors. I wanted to make sure she saw the quilt label on it so I showed it to her and she said "You made this?" then she was even more excited!!! I don't know that she knew that I quilted so she wasn't expecting it to be hand made. After letting her know that it was handcrafted, she had a totally different respect for it. It doesn't hurt to let the receiptant know that you made it specifically for them. Other wise, they might just think it is mass produced and store bought.
