Oh DebraK, I could NOT have said it any better. I don't have any family left but enjoy making items for my friends and mostly do enjoy making charity quilts. My focus has been on Foster kids who have very little of their own stuff in their world. I do it anonymously but hope I bring some joy that they know someone in this world DOES care about them.
If she has it in the closet, don't let it bother you. She may just be wanting to keep it clean. My mother didn't appreciate my artist ability when I was bringing ribbons home from quilt shows. Just make them for the family members that will appreciate your hard work or when they may hint or request something.
