I knew this was someone's first attempt and she was happy with it. I told her--Your quilt has a very homey feeling. Like I would like to wrap up in it and read a good book.--I later found out that the quilter has parkinson's disease. What an effort she put forth in making this quilt! Not all quilts are up to Padukah standards but they are all special.

Now THIS is the sweetest thing I've heard. I'm going to use it next time I see something like that. I hope that I, too, can make someone happy!!!

I absolutely agree with those that lean towards some sort of complimentary comment. If I put my heart and soul into a piece and thought it was good enough to show/display, I would be heartbroken if someone was negative about it. It might even discourage me from doing any more quilting. You can always find something nice to say if you think about it. And we all need 'at a boys' from time to time.

My sister taught my nephew to say, "That is very interesting" when he didn't care for something. I use that sometimes. Trouble is, everytime my nephew says it, we turn to my sister and ask, "Does he like it or not?"
