I agree. We have a person in our guild who actually has had some of her quilts published in books, we had one member say "I hope she doesn't enter in the quilt show, she'll make the rest of us look bad". The women overheard that and didn't enter any of her beautiful quilts in the show. I feel that everyone who came to the show lost out by not being able to see her beautiful quilts. Some women are so insecure they either feel they have to cut somebody down to make themselves look good or are worried about someone's work making theirs look bad. Just my 2 cents.

That rude person needs to watch "Bambi". Thumper quotes his mother's teaching. "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all."

Love your avatar by the way!! |
That is too bad that someone would have that kind of gall. I was taught early on that if I couldn't say something nice to just keep quiet.

wE ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT PERSON WORKED HARD WITH HER QUILT, AND WAS VERY PROUD OF WHAT SHE HAD MADE. ON THE OTHER HAND THE PERSON IS,NT ALWAY PERFECT OR IS SHE ABOVE GOD.
NER FROM BDA. |

It's sad that there has to be one of those people in ANY group or organization. The sad part is that the person who feels it necessary to "put down" someone else, is so unhappy with their own life or their own skills, they can't encourage someone else. To them I say "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose~ may an elephant caress you with it's toes," etc.
