One of the things that has impressed me about this list is that I've noticed everyone is so complimentary about projects. No negative talk here! :)
Re unappreciated quilts---Many years ago I made a quilt for DS & DIL. Later when I visted I saw it on the garage floor. I bit my lip (HARD!!)but made no comment. True several more times. Now they have 2 teenagers & while we were visiting Christmas, she said she would love for me to make one for each of them so that when they have a family, they will have a "picnic" quilt to enjoy as much as they have theirs all these years. I immediately changed my attitude & the lip healed long ago.
