That's a pity, how somebody can make a remark in a few seconds, and thirty years later it is still with you and influencing you.

Reminds me of a comment a customer made to me one "Monday" holiday as she was spending her day off shopping in my clothing store ( I was the manager). I teased her about having a Monday holiday off from work and she replied that I was open because she worked for a living!! I replied that yes, I did not work! wTH??? She did not have a comeback for me. Still ticks me off almost 30 years later.

I love this story Fay! Although I am very precise, this is what quilting for me is about!
Have fun quilting!

Let me post a positive story about poor quilting. My uncle by marriage asked me to repair a quilt his mother had made him years ago. He couldn't use it anymore due to the fraying of some of the seams. The dear lady loved to make quilts, but her work was very imprecise and her hand quilted stitches very uneven. The local quilt guild refused to let her work on their group quilts, but my uncle loved that quilt that had been lovingly created by his mother just for him. I used my silk thread I use for applique so I could match each color, and I painstakingly repaired each frayed seam. I knew his mother, and she was the sweetest lady with a huge heart. I'm glad her son sees the love, not the flaws.

I am sorry Kim. I apologize for all Dutch. As a Dutch quilter I am very well aware of the ignorance on quilting in the Netherlands... The Dutch have been quilting since the 1600's and before, but one way or another, it is something that hasn't spread.
