Sounds like one of my co-workers.... literally pouts and sulks if you don't compliment her daily. Heaven forbid you didn't notice she had on new earrings! Gah!!! Don't let her get to you - distance yourself if you find the relationship is a bit toxic to your self-esteem.
I would LOVE to see your quilts! I find I get so much enthusiasm from seeing the love and work others put into these wonderful works of fabric art!
