    Your gifts are beautiful! It is a much different society than it was in our day!

    I believe in karma - good will come back to you. Continue doing what you think is right - you will be repaid in kind.

    Those are beautiful quilts. Most people who don't quilt have any idea how much work or money goes into a quilt. I have been disappointed a couple of times when giving a quilt but just hope that someday they will realize how much love and work went into it.

    Dont beat your self up about how other people react or usually dont react, some people just dont have proper manners to at least thank someone for a gift. Just dont send them anything and Ill bet you get a call. DEB

    Your work is beautiful on all the items posted. I too had a nephew not appreciate a gift made for him and his wife. I vowed to never again gift them anything. Hold your head high, there are those yet whom do appreciate the handwork we do.

    I feel your pain. I have several family members that unless I call them and ask if they got my gift, there is no acknowledgment . And then most times they say oh yea I got it........ I send gift cards now so I know they use them and they can get what they would like, I long ago quit sending other gifts because if they didn't like them who knows where they went. It's a bit disheartening they were not raised this way. I keep thinking someday they will sanp out of it but I have my doubts.

    Unfortunetly, some people think that a homemade gift is inferrior to a store bought gift, or even money. They have never attempted a craft, or have no atistic abilities! I never put time into a quilt as a gift unless I KNOW that the reciever has expressed an interest in my work. Sad, but true.

    Your quilts are beautiful. If you don't hear from them then store bought is the way to go or gift card or better yet nothing at all! I just don't make quilts for people for that reason.

    Sorry about your inconsiderate niece and nephew. I would have thanked you profusely.
