I know how you feel my Mother always found fault with my homemade gifts.or would add to them as she said to finish them. Keep quilting. It is really pretty.

Did you think to ask what he meant by 'not patriotic enough'? I imagine you were too much in shock to do so! Maybe if you can find out what he's talking about and the picture he had in his mind, then you can figure out if you want to try again for something to please him or give it up as a lost cause.

Quilters have a special bond that the outside world does not understand. My sister, bless her heart, calls them blankets. I just smile and hold my tongue. I have never made her a quilt and probably never will, but we will always be friends.

It turned out great! The next time you are at your dads if you don't see it anywhere ask for it back. Tell him someone else will appreciate the time, effort and thought you put into making it.

he sounds just like my mom.never had a good thing to say about anything i did.one day after she got through critizing one of my porjucte i blew up and told her if she didn't have anything good to say don't say it.i also told her i new ever flaw in ever piece she din't have to tell me and the whole world she became extreamly ill we though she was going to dye it was then that she asked me to make her a quilt and told me that i did butifull work.i did give her a lone star quilt ot fit her king size bed that i had at home now she has to show ev erone the quilt i did .sometimes it takes a serious ill or some other problem for family to realize just what they are doing to you.
i sugest you tell your father just how you feel than when you leat expect it he will say thank you
god bless you and yours

You did a fabulous job in all respects on your lovely wall hanging. Please keep quilting. You are a talented woman. Sadly those we love have the power to hurt us deeply. I am so sorry your dad hurt your feelings when you gave him such a priceless gift. Your work is beautiful and so are you for wanting to give him so much of yourself.
