I made quilts for my nieces, ages 23 and 25. I never even got an acknowledgment that they arrived! I know the younger one loves her quilt, because I saw it in their living room, Nd she uses it all the time, but I won't make either of them anything again. They are both quite entitled and spoiled and don't appreciate the work and love that went into it. I gave my mother a quilt I made from a vintage quilt top, and was at her house when she put it on the couch and has the dog get up and lie down on its, I love dogs, but you want the quilt ruined, instead of your couch?? What the heck? I told her I was taking it back, so she put a different blanket down so I didn't steal it back!
My mother-in-law, on the other hand, practically cried when I gave her a quilt, and she couldn't thank me enough. I know,she treasures it, so,there are more gifts in her future!
