I know exactly how you feel, I wanted to make a quilt for my mom and she said "what will I do with it?" (I think it's quite obvious what you are supposed to do with it!) The point is, it was a rejection that really hurt! I will not make her one especially if she won't appreciate it. The reason why her rejection hurt so much is that she is very talented at many things, like fashion sewing, smocking, painting etc. If anyone would know and appreciate the love and hard work that goes into a quilt it would be my mom.....but I guess she doesn't want to with my quilt for some reason.[/quote]
Thank you so much for that. My dad is a painter...a watercolorist, so I thought like you...if anyone would appreciate the time and care that goes into making something it would be him. Guess you and I need to be selective in who receives one of our gifts LOL.
