It was my best effort at the time, my daughter thanked her, and went on opening the gifts. Everyone else at the shower was impressed with my efforts.
Oh My Heavens....Was your MIL Marie Barone from the show "Everybody Loves Raymond?" God Bless your daughter for being kind and moving on with the shower. I'm sure that everyone else understood your best effort, being that every stitch no matter how uneven your stitches may have been, each stitch was made with love in anticipation of the your new grandbaby.
