i made a quilt for my second granddaughter, and her mother not a dear dil, folded it up and put it under the tv so it wouldn't scratch the table.
she just had a baby boy, i sent a gift card for babies r us...
my other very dear dil was putting the grandbabies quilts up on the wall so they couldn't harm them. i told her give the kids thier quilts, if they love them to death, i'll make another.
now she quilts too, and used the same pattern i used for my granddaughter for her new niece.
like many have said, some people get it, and some people don't

I find that people who don't take their time to give from their hearts by actually making something, have no clue how much time and expense goes into things. I would say her comment is more of a reflection on her way of thinking than yours. So just let it go and keep doing what you do. :-o

Yeah, I'm sure I do. Talent, brains, beauty, what's not to like? Okay, the beauty part was a pretty big stretch of the imagination, alright, it was more like pure fiction but I'm comfortable with me and that's what counts.
Thanks!

For 'cindy182' hope you don't mind if I call myself a "quiltologist" as well. That's perfect. I am retired and people think I do nothing. I give my quilts to family and friends who will value them, anyone who dosen't fit that description can make their own.

I thought that we all were Quiltologists. That is the only reason that we would put up with all the work, planning, cutting, ripping seams, piecing, oh did I say ripping seams, ironing, rolling, sewing, shopping, crying, laughing and did I say ripping seams (lol).
If you are a quilter, you are entitled to the title of Quiltologist.

My Ml has two that she uses as bedspreads because they are "to beautiful" to cover up. Some people "get it" and some don't. Those who don't get it don't get quilts again.
