Quite often some people feel that anyone's but their own work is inferior and that they know it all, it really is sad, the friend of the quilter who was shot down because of her quilt needs to approach the guild president and explain what happened to the friend and suggest that she speaks to the entire guild about hat she should manners and that she should let them understand why she is talking about something that is so obvious to all of us

The quilts that aren't 'perfect' have just as much of the quilter in them as the prize winning ones. IMHO.

The 'put downer' may have been having a bad day or was trying to be funny or just didn't think. She may regret her remarks now.
Perhaps someone with a bit of tact and authority could quietly discuss the incident and suggest the importance of making positive remarks.
