BOB and The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

BOB loves to quilt -

BOB loves to bitch -

And sometimes BOB makes a bitchin’ quilt - ;))

BOB has given hand-made quilts to family members on occasion -

Some recipients see HAND-made -

Some recipients see HOME-made -

BOB has received various reactions to these gifts -

THE GOOD -

Quilt made to match recipient’s family room colors and decor -
Quilt was hung on their family room wall in a place of honor - ;))

Quilt made by request in “blue” -
Recipient liked it so much - he/she was afraid to use it -
BOB had to insist that it be “used” and not just “looked at” - ;))

THE BAD -

Quilt made in gorgeous batiks -
Comment - “It’s pretty - but it’s not soft.”

THE UGLY -

Quilt made as a surprise for a special occasion -
And taking a considerable amount of time -
Comment - “Oh, it’s lovely - but those aren’t my colors any more.”

===

Any guesses as to which recipients -

No longer receive quilts as gifts from BOB? - ;))



But then again - it’s probably just me.

Disheartening, I know. I know I made something once as a gifrt that I do not have for myself. When I saw it more or less discarded later, I almost asked for it back.

But we hand over the rights to how a quilt is used once we give it away. Too bad in some cases. SIGH

Lessons learned.....but is sure is disheartening to feel like something you put thought and time into was not appreciated.....
