A Gift SBQ

21 Comments

Today’s SBQ is very similar to one we had a few weeks ago from AngelSan, but as we begin to plan our holiday stitching in anticipation of the season, I thought that Outi’s SBQ suggestion was quite appropriate.

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?

I don’t stitch gifts very often and when I do they are only for people that I know appreciate the hard work that went into the gift.

However, if I did stitch something for someone and I felt that they didn’t appreciate it I wouldn’t make a big fuss. After all, I may have stitched for them, but it is up to them what the ultimately do with it. BUT I definitely wouldn’t stitch for them again if I didn’t feel my gift was respected and, sadly enough, it would probably make me think twice about stitching for other people.
