I couldn't pick my jaw up off the floor as i read what you wrote about the cousin's behavior toward you. She must have been extremely envious and resentful to act out to such a degree. That went way beyond quilt police criticism! It's like she had decided to bully you. That person must be an exceedingly insecure individual to go to such lengths to put others down. You handled the situation so well that we could all learn from it: first with patience & grace and then with firmness & kindness (for your poor friend) You are so right, we can't help who we are related to!
