Sounds like you have lots of advice to choose from. Hold true to who you are. Please let us know what you decide and how it went. You have all the support here no matter what you decide or how it goes. :wink:

I am so sorry you are not enjoying your group - DO NOT give up! I really like some of the comments and suggestions here--just might have to use them myself! LOL Every quilt is beautiful! I have never seen a "bad" quilt.

Wouldn't it be just toooooo funny to copy off all the responses you have had from this group, and present them to her???
Bet that might make her think!

:roll: I couldn't agree more, Who does this woman think she is GOD?? I think not!!! But she is most surely not as good as you, as you have a good heart and it has been hurt badly by this rude woman. Quilting is suppose to be FUN!!! And I do imagine your works of Art are quite something to behold as all the ladies are here. I do hope this woman doesn't have her fists in the officers but she does sound like the type and the same sort to run off a lot of quilters and before long she will be quite ALONE!!!! AH Sweet Revenge!!!! :D

Don't pay any attention to this person. If you are learning from others, then do not let this person ruin that. I belong to a great guild, fortunately, and love listening to our guest speakers. I also enjoy the show and tell at the end of the meeting.

I am member of a group that has 3 main "leaders" that can be very rude and critical. Some of the group felt the same way and put up with it for many years. I was a newby. Those of us who love to fellowship, sew & help others and eat have formed our own group. We now have 20 in our group. It will cost you a quarter to say anything negative about anyone else. We meet twice a month; one Sat and one weekday from noon to 8 and we all bring something for a potluck so we can eat around 5. No meetings just fun and love. So my suggestion to everyone out there is to find or form such a group. You could even start with just a few and meet in each others homes. We are lucky our space is free! Churches will also many times let you use one of their large rooms. Your taxes pay for your community centers. Use them. The rule here is we must do some charity work and be not for profit. We donate quilts to different agencies or where there is a family or child in need. So I always have a charity quilt ready..you never know. A good thing to do with scraps is to make small stuffed animals for the local police, fire and EMT's to have with them. It is something for a child to hug when things are not going so great for them at no fault of their own.

Honey, don't take things personaly...If someone treats you in an ugly menner..its mean that she or he are "ugly persons" with plenty of problems....you just happened to be on their way.....Its not your fault....
You are as beautiful and gorgeous as always.....They are the poor and misrable.... :D :D :D

Oh, I love what Ruth said. I totally agree!! :D :D I don't belong to our guild here because with my quilt business, I just don't have time. Everyone is always asking me to join and I always say someday. I love all of you here and feel like I don't need to go anywhere else!!! One of the ladies from our local guild even asked me to make her something so she wouldn't have to! I thought this was kind of funny. But also a great compliment.
I would totally ignore this woman because I think she has a very low self esteem.

Ruth, those are great usefull littls jabs. Love it. And Vicki you also should not have to put up with that especially at your job! Maybe there is someone higher then supervisor you can go to? It's terrible to have to get up and go to work every day knowing someone there makes you have an unplesent day. Okay, as Ruth said if all else fails than smack her :!: :roll:
