I did the total opposite. I had a good friend whom I used to quilt with. I actually taught her to quilt. The first few times we went fabric shopping she always got a few fabrics, only fall colors, browns and greens. Very muted. Pretty, but not in abundance, and definitely not for me. Many times I got fabrics and she came out empty handed because she couldn't find anything she liked. It got to the point that I stopped asking her to come with me, because she got nothing. She still quilts, but all the quilts look the same to me. We are still friends, but our styles are so different, she can not sew in the same room as me. She even stopped coming to the guild meetings, because she only likes one kind of quilts and if there is no nature, pine trees and leaves, she wants nothing to do with it. I tried to open the door to other possibilities, but he closed the door to that.
