If she is calling you to talk then she is in need, perhaps your gift will not be as appreciated as we, as quilters, would like,but sometime, in her heart she will bring your gift to mind and will remember and be helped.Never ignore a cry for help, however small.I hope you will go as your heart directs you. Love ,Letty

maybe a quilt from you would be the turning point for her. sounds like she could use a little love. even though it takes a lot to make a quilt, compared to a life without connections it is hardly a drop in the bucket. make the quilt, let it go, and hope she can get something from it even if she doesn't show it.

Well you gonna do it? I have made several things for people, quilts, etc... they didn't do flips when I gave it to them, but I did it. like pstoner said: A gift from your heart is still a gift, once we give the gift we no longer get to decide what is done with the gift. Give her one if it will satisfy your needs, and be happy that you have done so. Love her as you can, if she doesn't come round with the same care for the gift, at least you know you have done a great thing on your part. The best thing about a gift, is the giving.

I am going to make one.....probably just a 9 patch or maybe even a cheater panel. I need to see if I can find one I like cheaply. I have enough to do the 9patches though...I need to finish up the quilt I'm doing now and get two blocks made for CW quilt I'm behind on and then I'll start on it.

It sounds like she needs time and good memories.
I have done this with our family and they change their attitudes towards gifts.

I would and have.. I made a quilt for everyone in my sons house. His wife included. She doesn't like me very much but i made it anyway. I am a sucker. I was over there to take her a birthday cake and found the quilt i made for her in the bottom of the dogs cage. Not anyones elses quilt just hers. When i gave it to her I thought she might possibly throw it out well. At least I know someone (the dog) appriciates it.
