I found out about 2 months ago she gave it to my 2 year old great-niece (I'd already made a quilt for the niece). What is a 2-year old going to do with a queen size quilt?? I was so hurt by this.
Sounds like somebody who had no idea what a handmade object is worth in time and energy. Its all just commodity items.
My in-laws are the same way - Fortunetly I learned with food. Don't bother making homemade cookies - they would rather have Oreos.
