In most cases the response has been wonderful and appropriate for the effort (and cost) involved in the quilt. However, I have gifted or donated a few quilts that yielded little appreciation by the recipient. Weird. On the other hand, I just gave my sister a quilt for Christmas and she more than made up for anyone else's less than ecstatic response! So funny!!

I'm glad for you that this beautiful found a home where it's ascribed meaning, and is being loved.

That is what makes it all the worth of sharing/gifting them. Other than an initial thank you, I’ve never heard another word about a quilt I made and gifted. However, I do know they are used and loved. Can’t keep them all and can’t display them all, so share and gift and donate is a must.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540499473620802526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-49516080589474295532020-12-29T21:30:32.377-08:002020-12-29T21:30:32.377-08:00My Grandmother taught me some 60 years ago quilts ...My Grandmother taught me some 60 years ago quilts are Love Letters. Every year I donate around 50 quilts. Hopefully someone out there knows they are being loved by that quilt.GranChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05983272027109339559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-63458450997600319742020-12-29T17:40:50.583-08:002020-12-29T17:40:50.583-08:00I love when there are stories behind our quilts wh...I love when there are stories behind our quilts whether they are stories that inspire the making or stories that evolve afterwards, either by us or by others.

One has made about 20 Bonnie Hunter aka tiny pieces quilts. She has kept all of them and none of them have been washed. The other keeps a lot but gives away a lot. I have a few but give/donate away the rest because there's always more fabric. I so enjoy hearing what each quilter does with her creations.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502089801927429325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-14259209461210299082020-12-29T11:24:52.857-08:002020-12-29T11:24:52.857-08:00I love that your friends shared their thoughts abo...I love that your friends shared their thoughts about your quilt! They sound like lovely friends. To me, knowing that someone is enjoying the things I make is totally satisfying and is justification for making them. Well, justification beyond the personal enjoyment of the process of making things. I give lots of quilts as gifts and it brings me much happiness, especially when someone tells me something about how they enjoy a quilt I have made.Lisa Englandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017561924541178564noreply@blogger.com
