I no longer quilt for several family members because they never say thank you. They don't take care of the quilts when I make them. I have made baby quilts for many of the new moms at church and rarely get a thank you. Later it got back to me how thrilled several were at my gift. Thrilled but not even a verbal thanks does not cut it with me. I'm old fashioned and this is one of my pet peeves. Bottom line for me is I no longer take the time or spend the money unless it is for someone who appreciates it. This attitude sounds cranky but I was raised to be polite and taught my kids the same. Thankfully most of the grands are the same.
