keep your chin up and keep quilting. If someone is not nice to you, be twice as nice back. That will either irritate them, or make them realize you don't care what they think. If they keep acting immature, move on and find true friends. Search for other shunned people in the group and start your own group. even if it is two or three you'll be happier. Make sure to make good rules and enforce them. It's all about making friends and sharing/learning form each other. Quilting is an art and art in in the eye of the beholder. God created us in His image. We were created to create. God's creation sometimes has no pattern. God Makes everything beautiful. I wish I could see what beauty you have created!
