venting is good, but are you presuming she thinks she doesn't like you?Wow if someone gave me a quilt ! sure would really appreciate the work that was put in it. Like some of the girls said, who told you that, and are you certain its true, maybe that person is jealous?

Some people, because of things said or done in their past, don't feel worthy of others' love. Just sounds like she needs continued hugs and love from you and pray that it sinks in during her life time so she realizes how much you love her. God bless you. :-D

Send her a Note and tell her how much she means to you and that you've been so Pleased that she is taking the quilt you made with Love to all her friends and showing off "your passion" with such pride in "Her Daughter In Law" Sign it "With Love"

Mattee........copy your post here and mail it to her ! That way she will "get the message" and if she cries, you won't be there to hear it and feel badly. Seriously though, she is probably just too sensitive to "read" your true feelings, and if a beautiful quilt didn't convey your affection for her, possibly nothing will. Maybe over time, she will know how much you care. Be patient, and be proud of that lovely quilt you gave her !

I like mommamac's idea too. I hope that you'll feel better as time goes on and that your MIL will start to relax more, too.

I agree with writing the note with a small gift and note attached saying only special people get handmade gifts from you - and that she is very special in your life! That should make her think twice before saying anything else to hurt you - or make you wonder... make it be a gift for her birthday - or Mother's Day - her own special day - that makes it even more personal.

But, I am glad that she loved your quilt. I'd take her actions over someone else's talk anytime.
