I belong to a quilt group (I will not be rejoining this year) that at least once or twice a year has to be taken to task about their actions. There are little cliques and little groups that are considered the oldies and sometimes they are just mean spirited and always rude or dismissive of other members. It saddens me because many of these women are getting on in years and there are not many younger quilters who are coming to the meetings because of the way these ladies act.
