No you're not sensative. That was just shameful.

You did such a wonderful job, maybe they didn't realize you made it! It is very cute! Perfect for a little boy! Try not to feel too bad.

You did a great job on the quilt and were careful to match her decor. Very thoughtful. I've had this happen to me in the past too. The first time I was really hurt, but now when I get that kind of reaction, I correct people and tell them it's a "handmade, custom quilt". And then I try to educate them on what goes into the making of a quilt. A lot of people just don't know. Once you get into selection of fabrics, pre-washing, cutting with special tools, piecing, batting, and quilting, binding people start to understand the difference between a blanket and a quilt. The last person I educated came back to me a day later and told me she had no idea what went into making a quilt. She told me that she looked at the quilt closer that night and could not believe the work involved--and she had tears in her eyes! :) Mary

Cute quilt! The fact that he called it a blanket should give you a little insight into their frame of understanding. I bet the little guy is going to love it.

Your quilt was very cute. Maybe after they have a chance to really look at the presents they will understand that it is something special.

The baby will love it regardless. It is a lovely quilt and the matching tote and mobile are a thoughtful idea. Pat yourself on the back for me!

Maybe they didn't realize it was handmade? Surely it's not just another blanket. Grrrr...

Well, I LOVE IT. And others on this board clearly do as well. I'm sure the baby will too.

I can understand why you felt slighted. Try not to be too upset though. I am sure it will be appreciated. I personally think it is a lovely quilt and very thoughtful of you to incorporate the monkeys after-the-fact. It just shows what a nice person you are. Chin up girl.
