A phone call would have been nice, of course, but I find people are just lacking in manners. We have discussed this here many times over. Some non-quilters just have no idea of the work that goes into one of our creations and the recipient's appreciation is just not given. Know that when these two 'kids' grow up a little and realize (hopefully) what you've given them, they will show you their appreciation. In the meantime, shop at the Dollar Store for their Christmas Presents!! (of course, I'm Joking!!) Keep smiling, never stop quilting!! You are very talented!!
