I have learned that there are toxic people out there and I just stay away from them. It has taken me a while to learn that life is too short to get upset with small minded people. Thanks for all you have said. Pam, you hit the nail on the head when you said that she said it to make herself feel important.

That is true in any walk of life. I once had person tell me that my stitches were interesting--her nasty way of saying too big. I wanted to yank her hair and get in her face and say how big are yours! But I didn't just had the urge real bad.

That comment really hurt and it has taken me this long to show a quilt on the web. I guess the quilt police lives right down the road from me. LOL Mary
I sure hope that experience doesn't keep you from enjoying the thrill of having your quilt displayed in a fair or show. It really is very exciting and I must confess I am guilty of standing nearby and trying to overhear what people say about my quilts. I remind myself when I hear a negative comment that not everyone has the same taste and if possible I try to turn the negative comment into a positive, figuring out how to improve my work. Please, don't let one miserable lady ruin quilt shows for you.
