I am sorry you got such a poor response from your dad. Sometimes family has a knack for really twisting the knife. I think your wallhanging is lovely and you should be proud of it! Please don't let this experience dampen your love of quilting and giving quilted gifts to others. You may not get the response you are hoping for, but the true loss is that the recipient does not see the love, creativity, time and energy that went into their gift. How they can miss that is beyond me. Keep on quilting!!
