    My husband and I were on a trip on our motorcycles and Sunday came around and we decided we needed to go for a morning of worship. Needless to say,the stares we recieved when we walked into the door and sat down. I do not believe a person there new what the sermon was about, No handshake... No nothing..

    Not quilters related, but I recently flew First Class by using frequent flyer points and because I don't look like a "typical" first class flyer, the looks I got were amazing. One couple with Business Class tickets tried boarding when they called First Class and were turned away at the gate and told to wait. I thoroughly enjoyed walking past them and onto the plane before them. And I thoroughly enjoyed my First Class flight.

    I think it is sad when someone believes that they make themselves look (and feel) better by tearing others down. Bad form!

You deserve the best wishes for all your quilts to be the best show stoppers. Put your next one in that museum, and wait for the (3 so called ladies to return), then call the quilting police on them. Laugh and run like heck. Hugs for you honey, you really deserve them. Happy Quilting.................
    I'll have you know, the only sharp thing in my body is my elbows:)

    I have become a soft and curvy woman and the quilting isn't helping me lol

    Does Karen McTavish look like a "typical" quilter? And look at her unique artwork! I dislike stereotypes. We all belong to the sisterhood of quilters and our focus should be on creating the best we can and enjoying the process. How we look should not enter into the equation.

    amen to that! I always feel that I'm regarded as a'bag lady' because I guess I may look like one, but in my 75 years I have cut and stitched thousands of yards of fabric, given lessons to countless others. You can not tell what talent is in someone else by looking. Maybe the work they do does not meet your standards, but we are all a work in progress. Bless you for being interested in others' work. If you were not there to learn and admire other's work, you wouldn't be there. Shame to the so called ladies tht made you feel bad.
