Are you offended if someone doesn't display your gift?

I made my Mom a beautiful hand appliqued and hand quilted quilt and it is in a pillowcase in her closet. She says it is too beautiful to display?? I don't get it but have let it go. When she passes on it will come back to me and I will display it :thumbup:

I got really offended when I worked really hard making my mother in law a table runner and placemats with matching napkins and she never used it. I was expecting to see it on thanksgiving sometime. Well I asked her about it years later and she said she thinks my father in law sold it at a garage sale!!! :thumbdown: :cry: :evil: :roll: I have vowed to never make her a quilt and if she asks me to I will tell her "no way, I'm afraid it will end up in a garage sale someday and that's way too much work and expense for that!"

I gave my new in-laws a quilt for a wedding present, its a lovely basket quilt. However the pieced side is never seen, only the back; has mardi gras fabric. It used to make me sad, but its not mine anymore. They're not getting any more quilts, SIL considers them blankets and therefore of no value. :shock:
