Eddie, It's their loss, not yours! You would be a wonderful asset to any quilt quild. Unfortunately, it is bigotry like that that causes so much trouble everywhere. There was a young man at Jo Anns that was the nicest guy. He knew a lot about sewing and was so helpful. then suddenly he was gone, not sure why, but why it is we think a person's sex determines how talented they are? and just because one man was rude at the guild meeting doesn't mean all of them are. those women can't possibly think they are so perfect, can they?
