I didn't write this, but thought it was good information for us quilters.

Why they don’t want your quilts. I’m a quilter. I also own a quilt shop. I meet a lot of unhappy people who have gifted a quilt that took time, effort, energy, and money only to have it not be appreciated. Here’s what I would love to be able to say to some of my customers, but can’t.

Yes, the general public doesn’t appreciate or understand the effort that goes into a quilt. However, that’s not the core problem. We need to understand that not everybody wants a quilt. We think they’re amazing, but not everybody does. The accepted reasoning is that the quilter went to all that effort so the recipient should be grateful. No. You just foisted something on them that they didn’t ask for, didn’t want, and now need to store so that they can bring it out every time you visit.

Secondly, and just as importantly, everybody’s taste is different. That every traditional floral purple and brown quilt looks great in your house, but not necessarily in theirs. What you cconsider to be lovely may not be what the recipient considers lovely. We have all seen quilts that we consider ugly. But, they’re beautiful to the maker. That’s fine until the maker gifts it to someone who things it’s ugly. (Your daughter-in-law might possibly be a b****, but it’s for other reasons. Not displaying that quilt isn’t one of them.)

So, before you go to all the effort of making a quilt for someone else, ask yourself whether they would really want a quilt. Then ask yourself if you know their taste, could you pick out an outfit, color and style for them that they would love, if not, then don’t make them a quilt without consulting them first if they want a quilt and then about the style and color first.

I’m a roll, I’m at a retreat at Box Car Dean’s house and it is very nice and beautiful area. Went by the shop today and was amazed at how much wool and wool projects they have, among all the usual quilting stuff! So if you’re looking for wool, here it is. Tomorrow is the Destash event and yes, I’ll be there shopping at 10 am!!😁👍

I wanted to send an update on Quilt Country. I was there yesterday and his selection of bright colored fabrics and batiks is awesome! I love Tulla and Kaffe and he was a BIG selection! Love the patterns he is carrying too. If you haven’t checked out the store and love bright fabrics, or any fabric, stop by and check it out. I was impressed. 👍
