LOVE IT! I had done some glass etching on the large mirrors in the master bath of a double wide my ex and I had. We split, he kept the dbl wide and now gets to see those etchings every single day! I'm grinning with you!

Great advice everyone! I totally agree-quilt for you. I know that it provides me so much relaxation and releases the tensions of the day that I know that I can't stop doing it for this reason alone. it is really too bad that people don't appreciate the things we do for them, that is their loss-don't be sad. when other ppl see your quilts i know you will be joining the club-when to say "NO"!! So...keep on quilting and keep on smiling!!

I have the same thanklessness with some of the gifts I spend hours making and give from my heart. It hurts. One reason I love this board is the positive words, the encouragement, the help and the love shared here. Stick with us and show off your great heart filled work.

Sounds like my grands and great grand. Every year I say no more gifts.

There are only two people in my family that appriciate quilts. They are the only ones I make quilts for anymore, lesson learned.

I too had an experience similar to yours. I made a friend one, she was going thru a rough time, and I did it to comfort her. She barely looked at it when I gave it to her, and never said another word about it. But her sister told me that my friend loves it, is just shy about expressing her feeling about homemade things. When at my friends house once, her sister said something about stealing the quilt, my friend pipped in and said "no way, I love it, use it every day". So I guess it was a good thing I made it for her.

Give quilts to someone who appreciates them..if you want acknoldgement all the time, it isn't going to happen..it has been 3 years since any word on a wedding quilt, and two baby quilts, to two different neices....all are family too.

so no more quilts for them, i like doing for charity or to cheer someone up now. they are the most rewarding. so sorry, you have had this happen to you..

this has happened to all of us And like K said, quilt for yourself. For the pleasure it gives you. And please post pictures so we can enjoy your talent and what you do. We, understand what goes into a quilt and appreciate every stitch.

Quilts are a labor of love. Life is short - If it makes you happy while doing it don't worry about others.

I am sure that ones made, you will find someone to give it too how will appreciate it.

I really feel that young people now a days don't know how to say Thank You. Unfortuately the days of written Thank you notes appears to be over.

I would love to see pictures of the quilts you have made.

Thanks for sharing.

Don't let it get you down. Make one for yourself.
