So, even though I'm a MIL myself, I say just go on and do what you want to do anyway, and keep peace in your heart and head.
It's the best revenge!!

Is your MIL's name...Just kidding. My MIL never said a kind word to me for years, then she finally realized who takes care of her and isthere for her. She is 85 now. She is so sweet nad rather than complain about me all the time to family, now all she does is brags on me. But I agree with others, those who don't quilt, pout. LOL.

It's a real shame when lonely people lash out rather than reach out. Of course that's the real reason they're so lonely...they've pushed everyone away, maybe not even realizing they're doing so by insisting everything be on their terms and trying to run everyone else's lives for them.

OK, sorry, I have a small home, and if I am sewing everyone can hear it.
I misunderstood what you were saying, when you said a corner, I pictured my set up on the dining table, which is in the lounge/TV area.
I can see the TV from the table, and if you are watching TV, you cannot hear it if I am sewing.
She sounds hard to live with.

My S-I-L whose only hobby is chain-smoking watched for awhile and announce quite pompously, "Well isn't that just a waste of time and money!"
DH bless him, said quite sweetly, "Dear, why don't you and your attitude take your cigarettes outside for a puff." GAWD I love that man!

I would have been tempted to say, "At least I can see where my money goes. Yours just goes puff up into thin air."
boy is he a quick thinker....love it
