So incredibly sorry that the family gave you such rude and unappreciative reactions.
That happened in our family, too. So no more quilts for the adults. I have made a few for the newborns because I love making quilts and just want them to have them {{love}}.
I can only hazard a guess that people who do not craft/sew/quilt are clueless about the thought, time and effort that is put into these gifts. Not to mention your heart felt love and spirit.
What kind of purse(s) do you like to make? Do you have one/two now-so that you could post a picture?
Happy New Year to you.

Sadly not all appreciate what goes into homemade gifts... I sorry you had to experience such a situation... They should have realized how much it means when one makes gifts ~ much more meaningful than any store bought, but not all do..... I sure do and thankfully my family does too.....

Sometimes it's the color or style that just doesn't suit. I received a purse from a friend this year. I will use it when I see her, but it is not "me." I hate to be ungrateful because I know she worked hard on it, but it just isn't my taste.

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.
