of course i know what goes into the making of a quilt. that's why i give them to people who want them. i would never ask for them back to show them off at a show. and my family would laugh themselves to death if i did. then they would kill me. that just proves my point. the satisfaction of winning is more important than giving a gift of the heart. maybe she should buy the dil something she would like better, especially if it means so little to her. ask what personal item, just for herself, she would like to have. maybe something girly-girly? a bubble bath? a special cologne? sexy underwear?
give the quilt, certainly, because YOU want to. and acknowledge that that's the reason.
i would never dream of giving a quilt to someone who i felt didn't appreciate it,. furthermore, her h should understand this. i wonder if he gives her a wrench, because he has a really good one he doesn't use anymore.
