Hi, Lois, I have skimmed many of the replies here and I think many have been right on and some ahave missed the point. I feel that regardless of the gift, small or large, from a store or home made, the receiver should show some appreciation. We were taught at home that you show gratitude for a gift even if you don't like it! The important aspect is that the giver thought enough of you to take the time to choose, buy or make something and get it to you for a special day. I did this year after year for my niece and nephew without a single word back from them. I feel that they are showing no regard or respect for me or my efforts. So they got scratched right off my list. Instead I buy gifts and make quilts for those I know appreciate them.
However, I understand how bad you feel, especially after creating such beautiful things! I empathize and suggest you might consider quilting for a local shelter, hospital or QOV.

The quilts are gorgeous as are the ornaments. Obviously your SIL and her kids have no concept of manners. I sent gifts to my nephews last Christmas. Only one acknowleged his gift. He'll get a gift this Christmas. The other two...well, I'll just forget.

Those quilts and ornaments are beautiful. I can't imagine them not liking them and showing you how appreciative they were. But the blessing is in the giving, and you surely gave something very thoughtful. They ball is in their field now, you more than did your part.

I would love either one of your quilts! Don't feel bad, just consider it a lesson learned. Not everyone appreciates the time and money it takes to make a quilt. Be thankful you didn't raise the idiots who don't have enough common sense to write a thank you note.
I guess my age is showing, but it really bothers me when young folks don't have manners -- all children should learn the important of "thank you" notes ESPECIALLY when someone makes them something special.
Your quilts are wonderful and I know how to write a thank you note!
