Ah, split opinions. I personally think they owe you a thank you, and an apology for just ignoring the fact that you spent considerable time and money on providing them with those quilts. Ten minutes and 44 cents would not have killed them, and it would have let you know that the quilts had arrived, and that they did appreciate your donation. Having said that, if you want to make another quilt, and donate it for auction to benefit my favorite charity, I can promise you that you will receive at least 3 thank you notes. And the appreciation of many little four footed creatures. I think you were snubbed, intentionally or not.
