I have a hard time giving quilts away. I'm sort of like your husband. I am not cheap at all, in fact I donate a lot of goods to charities. But I have a lot of family and a few friends who still don't have a quilt.
For me they come first.
My cousin just asked if I'd put her in line for one. I'm thrilled to do this for her especially as I had no idea she liked quilts.
But a goal of mine is to make quilts for the needy at some point.
