I am so sorry that your father did not appreciate your lovely quilt. He must have been having a really bad day and took it out on you. Bet in time he will really appreciate all your hard work. Please don't take it personally, my father would sometimes say things that really hurt my feelings. I would just say something back like "well, I love you anyway". Then he would quiten down. Please don't let this one unhappy time steal your joy. You did make a beautiful quilt and it was from the heart, there is no greater gift. I can promise you that others will be so very thrilled when you make something for them. So...chin up and keep sewing. Sewing soothes the wounded spirit. Can't stay sad when you are making a beautiful quilt...right?
