Obviously, the answer is no. BUT, in all fairness, I have no idea how much work goes into a hand made wooden table, and probably would not give it the proper amount of appreciation, either. Not because I don't appreciate the gift and giver, but because I just do not understand.
The trick here is to be selective as to receipient AND to educate those who will listen.
Like Cathe said, all it takes most times is to open someone's eyes. In our disposable/cheaply made culture, a homemade quilt is just not ABLE to be appreciated by someone who can go and buy one at Wally World for under $20.
It does hurt, though, when you pour your heart into something only to have it mistreated, almost like someone mistreating you.
