Today’s “Stitching Blogger’s Question” was suggested by Outi and is:
Have you ever stitched something as a gift and later realized that receiver doesn’t respect your stitched gift a bit (for example it’s never on show, or you have other reason to suspect that it may even be nonexistent or at least placed in some dark storage room corner)? If so, what have you done? If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid such people what would you do if it’d happen to you?
Yes, I have. I have put quite a bit of work into things that have never even been acknowledged. I chalk it up to a lesson learned. I won’t stitch for those people again. In fact, I have a very small number of people, a few family members and close friends, for whom I will stitch a gift. It takes a specific type of person to be able to understand and appreciate all of the time and love that we pour into our stitching. And while I cannot understand someone who doesn’t value any work from someone’s heart, I cannot blame them. I just feel sad for them.
