Deedles,
The quilt is lovely. Hopefully, daddy will teach darling neice (and wife) the significance of this handmade gift.
I understand the hurt. I did a pencil drawing of my granddaughter and made copies of it for the great grandmothers. I signed my work and MIL asked "who did it". My mother criticized the work...
I've concluded that true artistry is not appreciated unless the person does the same skill or simular.
Know you did your best and don't look back.
