MIL EXPECTS to get something of whatever you make,(I've done other crafts) but I've never felt she really wanted it. Her quilt is out folded on a chair, but she has never used it. At least it is out. SIL is the same way. I don't care for her because she was never nice to my mother. She got a table topper because she hinted loudly(it was on my table) that it would REALLY go with her decor. Twin nieces (13)got lap quilts this summer for Bday. Ok reaction. Younger sister was all excited, "Did you make these?" She likes crafts and I offered to teach her to quilt this summer. Her mother said no. I'm very selective about who gets a quilt and I don't care who's nose is out of joint. I put too much work into them.
