Don't assume someone doesn't know what they are talking about just because they don't look like your traditional quilter.
And if you are a lady in your 50's, brown hair, white shirt w/ print who was visiting the museum today with 2 other ladies of the same age who snickered at a young mom wearing a Mariners shirt.... I hope your sewing machine eats every last one of your quilts!
I love your last sentence !!
I dislike rude people. What exactly does a "traditional quilter" look like?
I am a quilter, but I don't exactly look "traditional.
Well, you look very much like I did 20 years ago. Harley boots will work on a sewing machine pedal, same as polished toenails and sandals. Old guys can grow a beard and keep on riding. Older ladies ( without beards) get noise interference from our face flapping in the wind! :lol:
As for the museum quilt show, I heard a quote today that also works for these situations.
" If I have to pull up my Big Girl panties and deal with it one more time, the elastic is going to break and I really will have to show my a**!"
I, too, try never to dignify twits with anything more than a snicker as I walk off.
