That's brilliant!
I work in a quilt shop, and just yesterday a quilter came in with her brother and her brother insisted that because we use sewing machines, we're "cheating." Since I was at work, I was not at liberty to share my thoughts with him, as they were not necessarily suitable for work. But I love this comeback! I wanted to tell the man in the store that until he knows something - anything - about what a quilter does, he doesn't get get a say in what's "cheating."
