I wouldn't be too hard on her. I am sure that she, at 80, is probably rather set in her ways. Just be glad that you never had the opportunity to meet and be offended by my mother, the equal opportunity bigot. I think I was the hardest for her to take, lol....I insisted on being Native American, and God Help Us, that would never do, lol. How she managed to not be, when the rest of the family is????? But that was her, and she could offend you within moments of meeting you, and feel pleased with herself for having done it. I suspect this woman was serious, tho....and shocked at what has happened to quilting, as she has always known it. I'm glad you did not give her grief.
