Since I'm new to quilting I have often wondered who the "Quilting Police" are and how do they get elected??? I mean are they people whose ancestors taught them to quilt generation after generation or are they people who just happen to have alot of talent and declared themselves police over all quilt domain???? :hunf: just asking.... :roll:

There are no quilt police!! Some people just think they are!! lol

ha ha ha !! good question!!

Fortunately, the Quilting Police are few and far between. Don't worry a bit about them. Just have fun and enjoy the quilting process. It's really fun!

I think she runs a shop here in my city. Lol.

It's someone who has no tact or enough talent to do things she wants to, so she (rarely he) feels it necessary to make snide comments about what more enthusiastic quilters actually finish with love.

I think some people dub themselves quilting police, but the rest of us ignore them and their comments.

Overly opinionated quilters who believe they are always right.

this is the only person i've met that was willing to admit to being the "quilt police"

I agree, I have not seen one yet, but I have seen some snooty quilters out there.
