I have been struggling with this notion of "thank-you" for a while - not only for quilts. I haven't received thank-you's for several things, one being an out of town wedding with a nice gift included. The mother of the bride is distressed too, and says her daughter says "we're too busy". Well, they weren't too busy to plan a wedding, invite people and use the gifts. And I wasn't "too busy" to make arrangements to attend and to provide a nice gift. But I am going to be "too busy" when I get a birth announcement. I'm not asking for much, maybe an email, postcard, etc. This wedding was over a year ago. Anyway, thanks for the vent. I did make a quilt for my friend a few years back and she was very appreciative, note sent, and whenever we talk she tells me again how much she enjoys it. Didn't rub off on daughter!
