Ouch, had to have hurt. Just remember, that age thinks differently (I just made my Dad a quilt & we had a deep discussion about this, he could not figure out why I made this just to make ME feel good) We had a long/wonderful discussion as to how in their day it was all based on doing something "useful/ make a buck to get the family ahead", not spend a bunch of money, etc etc, he didn't understand that I might just do something for "ME" to feel good! and hopefully him to appreciate. ( that I didn't just think what it would cost and how much "constructive" time it would take). Great understanding for both of us, sorry I have gone on, I just read this & thought of my Dad and am now, at the end of his life, understanding him. Beautiful, quilt, by the way!
