How RUDE! ARROGANT! AGGRESSIVE!
To come to someone's home and ATTACK for 20 minutes....
She must be a very unhappy person with low self esteem to have to intentionally do this to someone. You know this has to be a "trait" she uses on many people; I think of her children | husband.
With your expertise and experiences, you were able to "let this attack" go out the door with her; whereas, many "learning quilters" might have decided not to quilt any more and would hear these HARSH WORDS over and over in their head and heart for years.
I wonder what happened to her to make her this way. Very sad.
Thanks for sharing your response. Good advice for dealing with these quilt police.

What a day!! Poor child, she didn't know what she was doing. One isn't allowed to be that opinionated until after 40 and even then one is NEVER given a pass on being RUDE!!!
Good for you for telling her where to go ;-)

There are people in this world that only know how to be negative and I mean about everything. They will find fault with everything and everybody. I think when they meet the Lord they will tell him what he did wrong.
I think this is the only way that they can feel good about themsellves. I speak from experience because I have been married to one for almost 40 years. He learned to do better as we raised our family but now that we are older and he has many health problems he is worse than ever. Please do not make comments about why do I stay with him. It is my personal choice and very private.

In addition to running into people 'raised in a barn' I have met some not raised at all, just 'thrown out in the wild'!!! (I married one ;-) good news is if they aren't too far gone they can learn to do better later in life)
