    You're a better person than I am, that's for sure. My patience would have worn out a lot faster than yours did. Now call your young friend, invite her for a glass of wine (or a cup of coffee) and tell her all about the quilt police. Hope your relationship with her doesn't suffer and hope she continues to quilt and enjoys it.

    I can't believe the nerve of her especially to accuse you of taking off the labels of dresses you made. I would have wanted to shove her out the window, not politely show her to the door!

    It is people with a lack of self esteem who put others down in an effort to make themselves feel they have some worth. I'm afraid I would have bust out laughing at her which would have done nothing to improve her self esteem but it would prevent me from clubbing her. I guess I'm not very gracious.

    Good for you!! Your grace is a lost art. I keep finding people raise children to be so nasty and rude nowdays with no respect or tact!
