We keep hearing this story over and over again. I think from now on if I make a quilt/gift for someone and they don't acknowledge it within a reasonable time frame, I would not make them anything again. That seems to be the only way to find out if it is worth the time, energy, and money for a particular person. Make only for those who appreciate the effort and send, in some form or other, a thank you for the gift. Just purchase a gift for the others. Why do we punish ourselves this way? Your quilts are wonderful and the ornaments are fantastic!!! PS: As others said, apparently the parent does not send a thank you for gifts received so guess the kids were never taught. I don't care how old you are, manners matter!!!
