I made a quilt for my husband's Grandmother for xmas a few years ago...although she did take it out of the box, that was pretty much all that was done...last year, I would say about a month before she passed away, she told me how "ashamed" (her word, not mine) she was that she didn't display her beautiful quilt I had made her...That meant everything in the world to me..so don't be too quick to judge her..just yet..and if she doesn't thank you for your beautiful gift in her thank you note then ASK FOR IT BACK!!! lol
