I can only relate how my Sister responds to things, she's very, very minimal in comment and showing ANY excitement, being tickled, etc. Hers was pretty similar. The telltale sign that indicated she really, really liked it, was she kept "petting" the quilt. My Niece and I just laughed as we know her so very well. Her SIL said, "Shirley, if you don't like that quilt Aunt Carrie gave you, I'll just put it in my truck." She gave him the "lizard look".............Standard sarcastic expression for not happenin' Bub! In this day and age, profusion of emotion along with/and the written word have declined drastically. It's becoming a "lost art". BUT, know that all of us here, are your biggest fans!! We love all the hard work, talent everyone does! Hugs!
