Well, I believe that common courtesy does not exist any more, probably because the children were not educated in the art of good manners any more. I am sorry for her reaction to an absolutely beautiful quilt. I put a lot of time and effort into a baby quilt on more than one occasion and never received a thank you. However, I one made a baby quilt for my SIL's granddaughter, and the mother couldn't get over the fact that I made a quilt and I didn't even know her. So sometimes it comes back to reward you.
