My feeling were hurt because I followed all her likes and she still gave it away.
Same thing happened to me. And she even named who it came from! I spent a loooong time making it and then the very next month -- off it went. Like you, my feelings were hurt and I was more than a little shocked. I know that space is limited in some homes, but if you don't like something or don't have room, maybe consider re-gifting it to your guild?
