Ladies, we need to remember that once we give someone something, it is
theirs to do with as they see fit. We no longer have any ownership of
it, regardless of whether we made it or bought it. If we can't
relinquish that ownership, we need to keep the item for ourselves. It
is hard for us as quilters to understand that not everyone even wants a
quilt! I have 3 adult children and 7 grands. I would NEVER in my
wildest dreams make a quilt for one of those children. She has no
interest in anything she percieves as 'country'. BUT, she wants quilts
for her new daughter. On the other hand, my son has asked me to make
quilts for him, so I do. My other daughter would probably not mind
having a quilt I made, but she doesn't have one. Even at 35, she
doesn't take very good care of things. Maybe someday. When I make
quilts for her 4 daughters, you may rest assured I do NOT use that $8 a
yard fabric. It's Walmart all the way-LOL!
