She would send out emails before Thanksgiving detailing "exactly" what the kids wanted for Christmas.
I deleted it and we bought what we wanted to. Then I chewed her out for being so crude and ill mannered.

It found it's home.
Some people just have no tact, but luckily you got it back and it didn't end up being one of those you see at Goodwill. I love it and think you did a great job on it. I guess because we all love quilts so much and even they are not "our" colors appreciate them and cherish the work and thought that goes into them, we think everyone else should also. I have made quilts I will never use but love. To us they are art, some modern, some primitive, some traditional but still a loved object and if we find the person we think will treasure it also and use it, now that is the best of all.
