Yup! I know what you mean. That's a shame though. I found a bunch of purse/bag patterns and e-mailed them to my girls. They each picked out the one they liked and one said she just didn't like them at all. However, I still haben't finished them.

Oh do I know your pain. DDIL asked me to make her a super sized King sized quilt, she picked the material, I supplied all work, labor, quilting, batting, backing. Then when she got it, she said she was going to use it as a couch throw?????????????
She liked it, but why did I need to make it so large if she was going to just throw it on the couch?

My daughter might like a purse I made, but I wouldn't make one for granddaughter or DIL, I know they would not like or use them. I showed my daughter the bow tucks, and she thought it was nice, but not relly loving it, yet the next week she called and asked if I could make a purse using patchwork. So, will try to do that for her.

It is not what i expected exspeacially after working so hard but one thing i have learned it is not their thing. I felt like i worked for nothing. I wish they could know how much work and love went into them.

Wow-that is so sad hear. I made totes for my co-workers last year and they loved them and this year a co-worker was having a rought time--her husband isn't working so we decided not to give this year, but I still made tissue holders and they were all so happy with them. Like it was said by someone earlier--adopt me. ;)
