I hand quilted a quilt and gave it to my MIL. She said thank you for the blanket. I got it back after two years she couldn't use it anymore. It is in the closet now and in poor shape. Thought of giving it to Goodwill. It has some bad memories with it and I really don't like the memories. Since then she gets a card and a box of candy for Christmas. The reason I gave it to her was to endear her to me and it failed. I don't put myself in that position anymore. Hurtd yo much to be slapped in the face. My Grandkids asked what kind of quilt they were getting for Christmas this year. I am not making them one this year and I told them that and they just looked to me like I had crushed them. So plan s for neew quilts for next year are in the works.
