I was put into this position a few years ago and I felt very hurt that my mother did not want to keep the afghan, cross-stitched picture, and quilt that I made for her. When I went to the estate sale I found the items I spent many hours making being sold for $1-$3. What was even worse I found out that she kept afghans that others made for her because of who gave them to her. She keeps asking me to make her a lap quilt, and I honestly have to say I have no desire to do so and no plans on making her one.
