[quote=mim]I agree with this idea -- one of the hardest think for many of us is to accept a gift or help in a graceful manner. They probably would feel hurt if you refused their offer. Giving to a charity will help and please everyone
Just my opinion -- Mim [quote=mim]
I was just lectured sternly about this the other day....I have been very independent all my life, I don't accept the fact that my body is turning on me for that independence easily. I've got a tendency to try not burden anyone else. I try really hard to do everything for myself, even when I shouldn't.
You don't want to get one of those lectures. They hurt. Let them do what they can and accept with grace. Maybe if you really explain that you are still in the learning stages and that you would love them to have the quilt and let them buy whatever fabric they like, the batting, and you know we're all here to help with any planning you have to do, etc.
