Thank yous. They come in all forms and sometimes they just don’t come at all. When a recipient fails to give a thank you, it can leave the gift giver feeling like maybe the gift was not appreciated or it just was not liked. It leaves an empty space just waiting for some action.
Recently I had a comment posted regarding thanking others even if you did not care/like the block you received. I agree with you, Nancy! There is a range of ability in the quilting world and we all deserve to be thanked for our efforts.
My mom always told me “If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all”. With this in mind, I can always find something “nice” to say when given a gift. When swapping blocks, there is always something positive I can comment on. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort that others put into the exchanges that I have been involved in. And to all of you, and you know who you are, I again say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
