He flat out told me he didn't really like it, it didn't look patriotic enough for him and actually asked why i would make him something like that...He hurt my feelings sooo bad. I didn't bring it home, i left it at his house...but i know he will never hang it. The VERY first thing ever i made and gave as a gift and it was rejected (by my father no less).

I understand that not everyone has the same taste - but really???? I'm just shocked.

Thanks for listening :-(
How old is your father? My mother in law is 81 and she has become very difficult to be around. She was always wonderful to me but about 5 years ago she became a different person. I think your gift is wonderful and very patriotic without being a fanatic. My husband and 3 of his brothers and my brother all served in the military -- needless to say I am PATRIOTIC! Don't let him upset you. You did GREAT!
