There you go, that is the right way to feel. The quilt is beautiful. You know I have found that some people really like something and really did not expect the beautiful and are too insecure to say thank you because they feel overwhelmed by the gift.
If that is not the case in this case I will say again.... You loved making it and loved giving it and that should be enough.

actually- I just realized the camera is here at work. I'll post a few. I missed one- I made one for FDIL, couldn't figure out how she could win one since I knew 5 of the winners out of 7, I made the runners to match their homes.

Let me download them.........

Oh goody, goody I can not wait to see them. I am planning a design now for a table runner for my son and his wife. Glad you were online. Let us know where the pictures will be if not in this thread.

If its a close friend or family member I tell them say thank you and my kids, if they forget I ask them if they forgot to take manners when they left home. The other I just will think a lot less of them :wink:

Do not be concerned in the least if she did not thank you. You do not say what her culture is, but in many cultures saying thank you is just not a part of the way things are done. I worked for many years in a different culture and must admit that it took me awhile to understand that part of the culture. However, she will show her gratitude in other ways I am sure, saying it may not be one of them! In the culture in which I worked, it was taken as a given that if I had something and you did not, I would share what I had with you. I had to learn not to compliment people too much, because in that culture if someone complimented you about something that you had, you would give it to them. Enjoy the diversity and know that she appreciated it even if she says nothing.
