Have you thought the person passing on this info about your MIL may be jealous. MIL got a quilt and She/he didn'ton.
There are people that love to create friction in famillies. Just forget it and enjoy your MIL. |
I'm a writer, but I would express my feelings in writing - in much the same ways suggested above, but "attach" that note to a small gift like a coaster set or something and say "I only make handmade gifts for people who are special to me - LIKE YOU. If she doesn't "get it" the second time ..... well no more quilts for her! And probably a little less trust. Which is a shame.

Actually, it was my husband, among others. It's really the only explanation for some of her bizarre behavior. She's quite obviously trying to get me to like her. She's really trying; way too hard.

But, I am glad that she loved your quilt. I'd take her actions over someone else's talk anytime. |
I like this a lot! Thanks for the idea.

Take her out to lunch and in a round about way let her know how much it meant to you that you were able to make her a quilt. That way she should get that you do like her and that she should feel special about being the only adult to receive a quilt from you. Jade

Like mommamac's idea, give it a try & see where it takes you

I wish I had a DIL I would spoil her rotten. My departed MIL was soooooo good to me. I miss her.

I think some people as they get older experience their insecurities more than they did when they were younger. I know this happens to my DM.
