How could someone hurt smeones feelings like that..Especially a close friend.. I mean, eeesh tuck it away and just use it for a couch quilt/company..
Now shes asking her to make something else for her.. I know my cousin was thinking ( when donkeys fly) lmao

I guess it did not match the baby's nursery. I hope someone at Goodwill fell in love with it.

I give them out of love , and I do hope they use them and
, but if I see that they abused them in a bad way I just
don't offer to make any more for that person, I wouldn't complain I'd just take them off my list . :-D

When my 43 yr. old son was a tiny baby, his great grandmother made him a tied quilt out of flannel with an old soft blanket as batting. David's quilt was much loved and used until it was patched many times.....He still has the quilt. although Great grandma is no longer here----her love for him is and we remember it all the time especially when we look at the quilt...

I want the person to feel loved and hugged by my gift.
