I don't think quilting gem's sister is manipulative or needy and to assume that she is just wrong. We don't know what their relationship is with each other. My guess is quilting gem and her sister get along just fine. My DIL and I are like that, she knows I love to sew and embroider and I welcome her requests for handmade things for herself or the kids. Yes, if I make something for one child I make something for the rest of them. They know they are not the center of the universe and it's not about them. The smile on their faces, the hugs and kisses are all worth it. Besides this is my hobby and I enjoy doing it. Yes, I make items and donate them to different charities but family comes first. I'm always honored when a family member wants me to make something.
