Yes, it did hurt, but what really made it laughable was to see a handmade quilt on the gift table at the reception! It was lap sized and a preprinted panel fabric, which is fine, but IMHO, not the level of quilt that I had shown her. So the wedding couple received an "old, ugly quilt" anyway. It was probably mean of me to think it funny, and I never mentioned it to the mother. After that experience, when I showed the friend another quilt, I mentioned how much it cost from initial fabric to the cost of having it quilted. Her eyes popped! So, sometimes it's better to wait and educate folks than ask for an apology. It did hurt, though, and I have stopped sharing my quilts that way.
