WEll you did the right thing and just smile as there are so many ummm "ignorant" and high maintenance people out there who have no clue !!
Be PROUD of what you said and did ( I would of blown a gasket!!) as we all are proud of you. I am sure the friend just wants to crawl under a rock, she as well needs to be proud of continuing on a a wonderful craft that many in life have no clue about !!

Then she told me the cousin had gone home to Florida early (Sorry all you who live in Florida.) She told my friend that she hoped that the friend would not have anything to do with me. I was rude to her! She was only trying to help me get better, because I was too old to know what I was doing. And besides, she could buy nice quilts at Wal-Mart and home-made stuff was just junk in her mind!
I am still laughing!
Oh, yes, my friend told me that the cousin was supposed to have been getting married the first of November, but the young man broke it off! (Smart fellow.)
I ache for the cousin. She is going to be so unhappy all of her life.

someone mentioned maybe we should pray for her. I am sending prayers up that she wakes up before it is too late and someone takes drastic measures against her. the young lady should not have to apologize for something she can't control. And you dear lady are a true lady and a friend. God Bless us all.

IMHO you handled that horrible situation with grace. Your young friend's cousin is going to have a sad, lonely life if she doesn't learn to put a filter on her mouth. It amazes me that there are people who think they know-it-all about a subject/topic they actually know nothing about.
