Another Baby Quilt gone unappreciated?
Remember poor Shelly and her neighbor's treatment of the baby quilt?? Well
my situation is similar, the difference is that I'm pretty sure I am going to have to do something, I just don't know what. (man, I violated most of those grammar rules with THAT sentence) One of my best friends lives in a city 3 hours away. I speak with her frequently by phone. Her daughter lives in a city in another part of our state so it's not like my friend sees her every day or anything. Ok, 3 weeks ago, I finished my very first quilt. It was nothing fancy, I didn't do any hand work on it or anything. I just really wanted to do something nice for my friend's first grandbaby. I didn't tell her about it while I was making it, I wanted it to be a surprise. And it was a really cute pastel green and yellow 9-block. I enjoyed making it. So, I boxed up this quilt and sent it off to the new baby with a note telling her who I was (I have met the mom, briefly). I explained that this was not an heirloom or anything and that it was a quilt to be used and abused. It will be 3 weeks Wednesday that I mailed it and I haven't heard a thing. Not from the parents and not from my friend. And it's just really not like them. They acknowledged their wedding gifts 2 years ago really fast. And I haven't spoken with my friend since I sent the quilt, so what if something's wrong with somebody??? I dread having to ask about it because it will be sure to cause embarrassment all around. I know how stressful it is with a newborn in the house. But I am going to have to know whether they received it or not. I insured the package although how can you insure a quilt???? You can't put a dollar amount on it. So how much longer do you think I should wait? And should I call my friend and ask her first? God, I hate these situations. Thanks, guys, I value your opinions and I know you got 'em. Cindy |
