Great point ekuw. Now that I think of the sampler I made my inlaws it was a long time ago. Knowing what I know now I wouldn't have made it. But I'm not upset about it either.
For all I know maybe she liked it and thought it was "too fancy" for hanging. Who knows? Doesn't matter
I made my son and his wife a sampler for their wedding last year and specifically told them to put it wherever they want or nowhere if they want. I just wanted them to have something to commemorate their wedding. I knew my son would like it but wasn't sure about his wife so I made it clear to both of them that I didn't care.
As it turns out she loves it and they have it proudly displayed. But I'm really careful when it comes to my DIL's. My sons grew up with needlework so naturally they like things I make. My DILS are great girls but I don't want to force my stuff on them!!!
