Your gifts are beautiful but the purple quilt is to die for. Love them all.

No one knows the amount of hours and time put into gifts like quilts.

Do you think she was "afraid" to use it? Some people appreciate it so much they may think they shouldn't use it because of all the work that went into it. They are afraid they will ruin it. I gave my brother a quilt when he went through chemo and his first comment was "I'm not supposed to use this, right?" I set him straight-"you damn well better use it -that's why I made it for you! " He does use it I'm happy to say.

Dear Lois, I completely understand and sympathize. Why not email a link to this post? Then they'll get it. The quilts are simply lovely as are the ornaments. What a shame they are so rude.

I feel for you. Unfortunately, it seems that for the majority, manners have gone by the wayside in our fast-pased world. As a child, we were not allowed to use/enjoy any gift until we had composed a written thank you and had it ready for mailing. With computers and e-mail, I simply cannot excuse this type of behavior. :thumbdown:

I don't blame you for being hurt, I would be hurt too. I don't think that parents today teach their kids respect anymore. But if your sister in law didn't send a thank you you probably wasn't surprised with the kids not sending a thank you. I am very fortunate that both of my kids have taught their kids respect. We have bought baby gifts and wedding gifts and we never even got a call, card, or a thank you. UNREAL!!!! Our parents taught us better than that. I am sorry for your hurt. Don't go out of your way for those that do not appreciate such beautiful work that you put into your gifts. God Bless You Lura
