You can't expect others to like or love everything you do in life.

The next year I made one for my sister - gave it to her Christmas - took me almost a year to make - King size. It ended up on the floor where it was never used and I think it was thrown out (not sure, don't care) If she did throw it out, she was not thinking. Reciently she and her hubby have been complaining how chilly it is in their basement, hmmmmm that nice thick afghan would be nice n warm huh?
----------------
Just wondering, is she going to get ANOTHER one?

We should always be kind. I have seen some quilts that I though were just too bright are whatever, But that's me I would never cut them down. They are beautiful to the maker :-)
Kindness and grace... Thanks for reminding us.
