please do not let this discourage you. She was one of those who have to put down others in order to make herself feel superior. My son said the other day.."Mom you make beautiful quilts" yet my quilts are very simple patterns, some I make up myself, and often have wonky corners and other mistakes. I have yet to have anyone say they are obviously made by a "newbie" I have only been piece quilting for 2 years. If the folks you give your quilts to love them, that is all that matters..

Just because you have the most expensive top of the line tools doesn't make you the best and top of the line quilter. Thanks for letting me vent.
