Are we - as quilters - sometimes overly sensitive?
I know that I sometimes allow myself to be hurt, annoyed, and/or angered by a comment someone has made.
But was the other person intentionally trying to be hurtful, irritating, and/or spiteful?
Sometimes the other person is - clueless - or thoughtless - or ignorant/uninformed.
And let's face it - not everyone (gasp!) is fond of quilted items. It's okay. We don't give quilted items to those people! I'm not crazy about crocheted doilies, but some people love to make them. In fact, I have a box full of them from my Mom's estate. But they are in a box - on a shelf - in the basement. Last time I looked at them was about five years ago.
