I hold one lady responsible for turning them all against me as she doesn't like me and she was my sister's best friend. I was so hurt that I wrote to all of them and said I thought they were my friends already and I didn't think I needed to buy them. I'm so hurt that I haven't given out anymore and probably won't even though I had about 4 more to give. Now they won't even look my way when I pass or talk to me because of the letter. I'm really hurt by all of this but don't know what to do. Thanks for letting me vent.
This is just not right! No wonder you feel hurt. But I imagine none of the 'friends' turned down those quilts you offered them. What a shame. I surmise that none of them know the time and effort put in to make a quilt. If it were me, I don't think I would be offering any more unless someone admired one and then I would offer it to them. I think you are so very generous. Wish there were more folks like you.
