They are all in your head!

My husband, who knows everything(!) says since I send my pieced tops, batting and backing out to be sewn together by machine I have therefore not quilted it. So I therefore am not a quilter. You may remember his interesting definition of creative. If I hand sew it together he considerd me to therefore be a quilter. So........I said since he plows, cultivates and harvests using machines he must therefore not be a farmer! If he did the work by hand, he would be. His reply......."Well, thats different." Gotta love 'em :x

I run from the quilt police!! I hope they never catch me, so in the meantime I make my quilts the way I see fit!!

or non-quilters, too, who think they know more than we do about quilting!! :evil: Thank goodness there are NO quilt police on the QB!!! :thumbup:

I consider them to be people with their noses up in the air who are very insecure to begin with. I don't worry about anyone criticizing my quilts. My friends care about the beauty of the quilt in my eyes, not in the flaws they see. Anyone who can't do that, I don't need in my life. If I want your opinion, believe me, I WILL ask. Just enjoy what you do and know that no quilt is perfect. The Amish even put a "mistake" in every quilt on purpose. And I don't know any better quilter than them.

You hit the Nail on the head, Quilter "Want-a-bees".

I've generally found that 'quilt police' are the people who are jealous of anyone else who shows a smidgin of talent or original thought!

I know one that works at my local Hancock's Fabric Store. She about turned me against quilting before I ever got started.

Self righteous, know it all morons who think they know it all and don't know how to keep their opinions to themselves. They see themselves as ( top, better, best, expert, etc. ) quilters.

Oh and by the way, they are self appointed.

They are the people who know more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing! If they come to your house, don't let 'em in!
