QuiltnNan – My sincere apologies for overstepping the rules of the board.
Paper Princess – Thank you for your kind words. Buying without payment was my own fault but since the quilts went to Linus, then good came out of it. As for elderly neighbour – I am looking it as a “skill building” experience such as learning to design and draw patterns, bag construction, insetting circular bases and piping.
RugosaB – I never thought about referring to LQS and I should have! When I am ready to take on more work, then I might have a little talk with them.
Tothill – I agree with your definition of a gift. In the future, I will have to ensure the others are in agreement too.
Snooze2978 – Wow – a quilt for everyone in your congregation. That is dedication. While it is impossible to please all the people all the time… I give with the hope it will be liked however if they want to cover the tractor with it (I live in the country too), fine with me, but I would have rather made them a tractor cover. No… wait… could you imagine having to do the binding on a tractor cover!
Many thanks everyone.
