I had to get that off my chest
I am so glad we all do our own thing on the Board and respect each other's amazing work!
You know, it isn't the fact that she thought it, it's the fact she said it out loud, right in front of you. What nerve. Feel how you like, but don't judge others - it's None of Her business! Yes? If you had asked, it would have been a good give and take - I can appreciate an opinion. But that is very quilt policey and condemning. You are a better person than me, young or old, manners dictate that you don't demean anothers work. I'm proud of you for holding it in, I'm afraid I wouldn't have and the term old-bat may have escaped. lol
