Hey Girl, your story was super!!!! I want my quilts to be used.... not abused. So, once I give them away, I hope the person/s will use them. The only quilt I have packed away is one my gradnmother made for my mother.... it is in very poor condition....why? because it was used. I just keep it because grandma made it. I keep thinking I will get it out some day and use it as a table top.... great conversation piece when the family gets together. I am the only quilter in the family and I am sure to get comments..esp. from one sil. What wonderful memories our quilts give us. You did the mature thing, let her spew her ignorance, then explained to her the reality of quilts. Your day wasn't so bad... you put the quilt police in her place. LOL all day long. Now, off to do some quilting.
