I hear you. I made 3 quilts for my ggc. He is now 3 months old and in the hundreds of pictures posted of him, not once has there been anything I made or sent in any of the pictures. they won't hurt my feelings if they don't like the quilts, but since I spent many hours making them, I don't want to make him anymore if they are not going to use them.

I made a couch quilt with pug dog pictures and other dog theme blocks for a former neighbor who is very involved in pug rescue and has lots of pugs herself. I was disappointed in the results and hesitated to give it to her but she was very thrilled and told me it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for her. Her DH kept telling me it was beautiful (not in my opinion) and she showed it to some other neighbors who also said I was nuts. There was nothing wrong with it. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess part of my problem was I had problems from the beginning and just wanted it done and out of my house.

That is so nice!

Several years ago I attended the wedding of an old friend's daughter. I had not seen her in years because the marriage had split up and they lived in another state. The first thing that she mentioned was the baby blanket that I had made for her when she was born. Apparently her mother had kept it and told her that I had made it. I was so touched. You can't beat those feelings. :D :D

There is nothing I like to see more than a quilt well worn with love. That is why we quilt! My LQS has a sign that says "A blanket warms the body, but a quilt warms the soul!"

Very sweet...I know how you feel. Recently saw a neice that I had made a quilt for her baby and she said she just had to tell me that her 2.5 yr old would not go to bed unless she had her quilt I made for her baby shower. It made me happy because I don't think the neice understood the amount of work that was involved, she was somewhat underwhelmed in her response when she recieved the quilt.
