i made this wallhanging for my husbands birthday, and he made it known that he didnt like it!! jan 2010

His loss and someone elses gain.

Very cute!

Soooo cool!!! Love it!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I love it and would take it in a minute :)

I would keep the wall hanging and get rid of the hubby!

I don't know why he wouldn't like it, it's great. You can send it to me, because I love it.

LOL!!!!!!! :lol:

what a stinker!

AWWW -- IT is cute

I think it's great, and very masculine. Don't know what his deal is, but my husband wants you to know he thinks you did a wonderful job and he wants you to find someone else who will appreciate the work you put into it and give it to him/her! [He's a carpenter/woodworker/teacher and he understands the work that goes into handcrafted gifts].

What did he not like about it, the design or that fact it was quilted?

I think it is very nice.

He just wanted the cat in your avatar in the quilt with the dog. Just add the cat!! lol

That's aweful

I think it's cute.

Wow! Really cute. I'm sorry your husband does not appreciate your hard work. I know I would never make another item for him!

That was my exact first thought. How could he not like it?

I lile it so much! Don´t listen to husband!
What does he know about Art Quilt??
Return to your newspaper!
Hahaha!
A big hug for you!

Oh well, now you know not to waste your time on making him anything. I have a DGS that would love it. He had a dog looked just like your picture...

I love your doggy wall hanging......... I just wouldnt make anything else for him, and if he ever asks WHY, then you tell him! My hubby says he thinks it is wonderful!

I think it is pretty. Men just don't understand.

I think it's a darn cute little fella on your quilt. Your husband is a grouch! I know I'd remember this for next time he makes something. Then, burst his bubble!

I'd rather someone was honest than gush over something he or she didn't really like. Of course it's always a question of how this message is delivered. But tastes are different and are supposed to be different. Someone has no obligation to like something just because it has been given to him or her. It might be hurtful to receive such a response but at least it's honest. I value honesty.

I think its beautiful especially the eyes!! Maybe he thinks the dog is looking at him lol

So why didn't he like it? What was wrong with it?

He just doesn't see the beauty in the work. Great job on the dog. I love it!

At least he was honest with you. I like it.

I would hang it on the wall so he has to see it every day just to irratate him...lol

Shame on him, it's a wonderful piece

There has to be more to this story. Is that a dog that is known? Did the dog die? What is the story?

Is this a joke?

BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Great answer! :lol:

Donna

I think its soooo cute shame on him!

AMEN!!!
:roll:

look at it this way...he loves you enough to be honest, which is very important in a solid relationship......perhaps you could give it to someone else, or donate it.....BTW, it is a lovely wall hanging!!

There's no accounting for taste, however, we do know he had good taste once. He married a quilter, YOU! I love it. That dog must have been hard. Is it applique? By hand?

I'm sorry he didn't like it. I know from experience that it hurts your feelings, especially if it is someone close. I think it is great and would love to receive it. If it were my hubby he would not get anything else I made, would go to the bottom of the gifting list, LOL.

Oh dear. pictorial quilts are so iffy....because they involve personal likes and dislikes.
Did you ask if he dis-liked the border fabric, or the dog's head?
....or the whole idea, before you made it?

It probably is a one time thing.
He probably likes other quilts you have made.
He won't mind if you give it to someone else, thankfully.

I myself do not care for animal heads or peoples face portraits very much because a good photo - another media-
does a better job, but I absolutely love all kinds of other quilting projects.

I am so sorry about your husband. I think the wall hanging is lovely.

That's really nice!!! I'm so sorry he didn't like it. Men. Sometimes they don't understand good taste. Giggle - I hope you gave him a hard time about it!

I made a boxer for my sister. I showed it to my dad and my brother and they both said, "oh." When I gave it to my sister, I told her to tell me she loved it whether she didn't or not and I told her the response of the men in my family. (So I wasn't big enough to take the truth. I needed some positive expression.) She made a huge fuss all over it and made compliments on what I did. She told me all the ways she could use it.

I think she was genuinely tickled to have it especially with the dedication I put on the label.
