Am I being to sensitive??

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

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.
