My heart hurts for you, This is a beautiful piece and how lucky he is to have you for a daughter, remembering him on Father's Day. He sounds like he has a lot of anger. Write your feelings down, don't send them, just do too vent, it helps. How about donating this to your local vets center,or library to honor the troops. This is a quilt of love.
You are very creative and I can't wait to see something else you have done,

I am sorry you were so hurt. Sometimes older people forget and say just what is on their mind. Even though there is no reasonable excuse for being rude. I think your quilt is beautiful and I am sure that any veteran or service person would just love to have it.

Maybe he would like to donate it to a VFW, I'm sure it will be appreciated by all members. Pass that by him and see what he says. Then make him what he wants or maybe he was having a bad day. I like it very much, keep up the good work.

What a jerk! He may be your father, but he is still a jerk! They are out there. Don't let it discourage you. Some parents are never satisfied unless they can put their offspring down in any way possible. I can identify with your hurt. Your heavenly Father loves you and so does your biological one...he just is an inconsiderate jerk. Love you for trying.

You have just got to be my sister. Surely you grew up in my house. Did you grow up in California? :lol: Some how the pain from our parents cut just as deep and sharp as when we were little kids. I have chosen to NOT be the way I grew up and my husband is encouraging. I am deeply sorry for your deeply hurt feelings. Keep your chin up! Your quilt is gorgeous!!!!!!!!! :D :thumbup:

I think you did a fabulous job! I made my dad a quilt for his birthday (not nearly terrific as yours). He also didn't act excited when I gave it to him. I was upset too. But maybe, like my dad, your dad will come around and thank you very much.
