I agree. We have a person in our guild who actually has had some of her quilts published in books, we had one member say "I hope she doesn't enter in the quilt show, she'll make the rest of us look bad". The women overheard that and didn't enter any of her beautiful quilts in the show. I feel that everyone who came to the show lost out by not being able to see her beautiful quilts. Some women are so insecure they either feel they have to cut somebody down to make themselves look good or are worried about someone's work making theirs look bad. Just my 2 cents.

I'm sorry for the quilter!
Please let us get this feedback and embrace her and her beautiful work!
A hug for everyone!

It's sad that there has to be one of those people in ANY group or organization. The sad part is that the person who feels it necessary to "put down" someone else, is so unhappy with their own life or their own skills, they can't encourage someone else. To them I say "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose~ may an elephant caress you with it's toes," etc.
