Well here is what I think :) One he is a guy. Bad excuse but he is a guy and most don't understand the time, effort and money that goes into something like that. Two if his fiancee doesn't know you and especially since they aren't married she may not feel that it is her responsibility to write a thank you. And third if they are of my generation (I'm in my 20's) they probably didn't even think to write one. In general we are very ungrateful with gifts. I am sure they love it but won't even consider writing a thank you. It really frustrates me as I am sure it does you. All my friends are at the prime age to be getting married and having babies. Yet I rarely get any sort of thank you. My mom always made me write them when I was little and I always do now as an adult but I rarely see them back in return. I guess my generation is just lazy. Or people are lazy in general. I have yet to see any thank you's from anyone in my DH's family. We've been married 4 years (together for 7) and have not seen one yet. Anyways now that I have ranted just don't take it too personally. I am sure they loved the quilt but they just may never get around to saying anything. Pretty much a shame :(

Give it just a little more time. You never know what may transpire to make something arrive later than what you expect.

Thank you for the reminder to be better about acknowledging and appreciating gifts.

maybe your getting a hand written note.

Today everyone has a phone attached to his or her hip. It would take 30 seconds to call and say thank you for taking the time to make this quilt. I must be getting old because I don't understand whatever happened to the manners we all were taught when we were young.

ask if parcel received and when , if the day you thought you should be very disappointed in your friend's attitude and tell him that you were concerned as he had not contacted you-------MAYBE then he might understand how badly he acted in not contacting and thanking you.

I totally agree.
After a frustrating experience have decided to make
things only for those who say they´d like to get it.

i think it is too soon for a reply. they are probably swamped with new baby stuff.
i am also still waiting to see if a quilt got to where it was supposed to be. it has been over 10 days. wedding shower quilt gift...

I always get a tracking #, if I know they got it, then I would feel bad if they didnt\'t say Thankyou.
Give them the another day or two.

I would check to make sure it arrived. I am returning one to a family this week that was mailed in January. It was found among lost mail with no mailing info. The package was gone. I found the intended owner through www.lostquilts.com because someone recognized it and identified it. I think a tracking number would be a good idea. In the US they scan every move and you can follow it online.
