I am so sorry for the hurt to find that out. I think we have all spent time and love on projects that were rejected by someone, or gifts without thank-you's etc. But God saw your heart and the love that you made it with and that's what matters. We reap what we sow...I recently got a fabulous quilt on E-bay for $50.00 and when I turned it over there was a tag that it had been made by someone's Grandmother and it made me cry. I have no such family heirlooms to treasure and couldn't understand how anyone could part with such a gift. I whispered, "Thank-you Grandma, it's in good hands now..."

I guess we always knew she only had one child ... our deceased brother...but we loved him, too. We made a quilt called "House Dresses" and we had so much fun making dresses we remembered her wearing, pearls, scissors in the pocket, etc. She said she loved it. Today I found out she gave it to the Goodwill. So if you are in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area and you bought a quilt of house dresses please know it was made with so much love and we hoped she would love it. Just a side note: she was a quilter and she is the one that got us started.
