Julianna, This is the very reason I am part of this quilting board. I was in a quilting class full of rich snobs and I hate to say this but they had nothing to do with me because of my skin color. I am not kidding and I am not in the habit of using the race car. I payed my money and they totally ignored me and I knew I was not welcomed there at all. It was ridiculous how the women treated me as if my money wasn't good enough. I love the Lord and all I can do is pray for them. I feel welcomed here and have learned a million more things that I learned there. I stayed just because I was desparate to learn quilting. I happy to have found all of you. Blessings
