It's good to vent.............. sending you a hug.
If you ever get it back..... you could always send it to me.
Just - letting you know I think is is very nice and I would be proud to have it. he may change him mind.......
Don't let this stop you from making other quilts and giving them as gifts because there are lots of people who would be very glad to get a gift like that.

There have been other posts on this same subject. It is a hard knock, one that I certainly don't understand. You have lots of shoulders here. We will listen and hopefully help you feel better. You did a good thing, really. He could have been a little more gentle with his reaction and at least said thank you, you deserve that.

OMG it is lovely, and it is SO patriotic! Yer dad needs a smack upside his head (NCIS style!) for even thinking it's less than perfect!

I'm so sorry that he hurt your feelings. I think your wall hanging is patriotic and georgous and would be honored to hang it in my home. Please don't let this discourage you from making gifts for others. We give in love and that's all we can do. I know others will treasure your gifts!!

So sorry for the hurt your feeling. Just know that time heals all things. But I agree with the others, go back and get it. You put so much love and energy into it that you should give it to someone that will really love it. Such a beautiful job you've done. Please keep quilting.

I have to say I feel more sorry for your father than you. I cannot imagine being so miserable myself that I would miss an opportunity to show my child how much I loved them - no matter how old they are. The wall hanging is quite nice. I have two active duty military children and consider it plenty patriotic. Be proud you love your father enough to have made the gift and someday tell him how he made you feel.

Your quilt is spectacular! It is so hard when you don't even receive a thank you for such a lovely heart felt gift. I'm sure there are so many people who would love to receive such a wonderful quilt from you.

What a bummer that he was so cranky. It looks very patriotic to me and would have looked beautiful on my wall. I think you did an excellent job by the way. Sometimes older people can be harsh and have no clue that they are being so mean spoken. I get this from my mom all the time. She is 90 and is forever telling me how my body was ruined when I had kids. And she says it infront of everyone like its no big deal. I say, pat yourself on the back it really is a very nice wall hanging.
