All I have of most things I made -cross-stitch, crochet and now quilts is photographs and sometimes not even that! I do feel like you janet on occasions when I feel people do not appreciate and have slowly learnt to limit my generosity to people who appreciate handwork.

Unfortunately not everyone appreciates the time and expense that goes in to a hand made quilt. After seeing a couple of quilts that I had given away be severely abused, I decided from then on to be very selective about who I gave quilts to or at least I didn't give away the quilts that were really special to someone who I wasn't sure would take proper care of them. On the flip side, 2 yrs ago I took some quilts with me to Michigan when we had a memorial service for my mom with the intention of letting my 2 sisters and their daughters, along with my SIL, choose which one they wanted. Both of my nieces sent me the nicest thank you notes afterward. That sure helps make up for the disappointment of knowing others didn't appreciate the gesture.

Although I have several on going quilts that are meant for me, I find that the ones that get finished are for others. I don't actually have any quilts that I have made, but right now I am working on hand quilting a twin/full size red and white quilt and it will definitely be mine. It is my first hand quilted project, so the stitch size varies a lot, but it means a lot to me so, there is no way it is going to anyone else, but me! I do love to make things for people, though.

Erin, the good thing about the Craftsy classes is that you can go back and listen to them over & over again so you won't have to worry about forgetting something you learned in a class. I'm the opposite of most quilters in that I rarely give my stuff away, which is why I have way too many quilts. There just haven't been that many people I feel would take care of them the way they need to be taken care of. Just this week, though, I did make myself put quilts on the new twin beds we bought for our guest room knowing that the grandsons will use the beds more than anyone else. I did make them promise me they would not roughhouse on them, etc.
