Dear,
Please, think about doing this....
Make some placemats or a table runner and wrap and give them to "Mrs Busybody" as an unbirthday present.
Be sure to tell her it is to make her feel better....
I had the wickedest mother in law, you could imagine!
She was so dissapointed she couldn't dictate to me, she could spit! LOL!
I won her over by being kind to her, and a few little presents softened her toungue!
....and if the others want some too....well can you have a little quilting party - just for that!
