I agree- it's how you deliver a message that can make it hurtful. SweatyPies note was rude IMO.
I gifted 4 tshirt quilts of my XH's who died at 52 from panceratic cancer. He left 4 young ones griefing including our 13 year old twins....
All my bindings were done by machine due to my arthritis and carpal tunnel. His daughter told me the quilt was "the nicest gift she was ever given. " Funny how she didn't seem to think it lost value that the binding wasn't done by hand. It was a piece of her Dad that I gave her and that was priceless to her and her siblings. I'm blessed she's not part of the "Quilt Police".
