I’m truly sorry... I thought you knew I was kidding...
“Payback guilt” is wrong...what a person gives SHOULD be a gift of love, pure & simple...
My Mom made all of her grandkids a quilt. She gave them with conditions attached...and I don’t think a single one of the kids uses theirs, even though her conditions have been met. Truly sad for all involved...
Again... I’m sorry...
Ping a roo, Bethesda boy!!
Watch yer front and backsides and be safe......
Extended forecast is warm on Christmas Eve here, in the mid 40’s. Maybe snow on Christmas but not cold, in the mid 30’s......

20-some years ago my mother in law gave me a magnificent hand-made quilt that was then at least 50 years old, a family heirloom and absolutely magnificent. With it she gave me a pair of white gloves, noting that it required special care and was ‘museum quality,’ of which there is no doubt.
So it sat in a blanket chest all those years. Last Spring I said, in essence, what am I DOING? So I put it on my bed and have been using ever since. It is to me insane to ‘store up treasures.’ Hopefully, those ‘kids’ will overlook the conditions attached, together with the resentments they apparently feel, and start to use and enjoy their quilts.
