It always amazes me that people can be so snooty. I really try to go out of my way to be kind and nice and truly mean it. I adore this one quilt shop that has shown me kindness and they are really wonderful ladies who work very hard and are extremely dedicated to quilting. I asked why they were not participating in the shop hop next month. Apparently whomever sets up the shop hop does not want to include their shop, as they are "not enough of a quilt shop" or something like that. I'll leave it at that, but it puts a bitter taste in my mouth.
