I think it's beautiful! Tell your Dad that it's worth $100 and most people would be very happy to get one like this.

You must realize first that it is him with the problem not you or your hand made quilt. I can't beleive anyone could be that cruel and rude to anyone especially his daughther.
The solution is go back and when you see it laying there just say Gee Dad I am so sorry you don't approve of the pattern so I will take it and donate it to one of the returning vetrans who are at treatment places get treatment. I personally know they love them and know people personally who donate and tell how excited they get. It also looks just the right size for a wheel chair lap. The next Fathers'd day just don't get him anything. Don't let your children know about this as it may set a bad example, however he needs to see what his reaction has done. |

Is he usually like this? If he is, there are some people who are tackless and unfeeling. Honey, now you know not to make something for him again and it's too bad that it's your father. Chalk it up to experience and know that there are hundreds of us right here on this board who would be grateful and proudly display your work in our homes. {{{hugs}}} |
WOW, I am at a loss for words. I think your quilt is great!
|
I am so sorry that he did that. That is painful.
If you want you could take it back and take it to the Veterans hospital for a gift to a person who would really appreciate it. Won't make your hurt change, but may really help someone else and ultimately you. |
I think it is lovely and your dad might surprise you.
|
I am so sorry - and from your father at that!
I am terrified to make my mother anything - I suspect she will say the same thing... but I'm going to anyway... I do hope that he has a change of heart :( |
My dad would love it and you can be my honary sister its very nice looking
|
I think your wall hanging is very pretty.Do not feel bad, some people do not appreciate or know all the heart and love one puts into a quilt they give as a gift.
My mom one time didn't like a gift I gave her it hurt to the core. But I got over it. Sometimes parents just do not realize when they hurt. Cheer up!! |
good for you for venting. you go girl.....hope you feel better!!!! I bet its the last time he ever gets anything from you. especially handmade. MEN!!!
