What wonderful things has she done with her life? I don't know how I would have handled such a situation. You were great!

I think I would have given her the 15 second stare, followed by...

"Now why on EARTH would you feel the need to make comments like that?"

Really, what was her point?

It is your quilt you can make it what ever way you choose. We can choose our friends but not our relatives.

That's disgraceful - too bad some people have to put others down to think it makes them 'bigger' (which achieved the complete opposite) ;-)

As for your reactions to her STUPID remarks, you certainly showed who has the CLASS & DIGNITY in that room. I don't think I could have been as diplomatic. You go gal!!!! :thumbup:

How freakin' rude! All I can hear in my head is my Mom saying you can find something nice to say about everything otherwise keep it shut! The absolute gall of some people.

Kudos for you !! You did a great job of remaining calm, and then telling her about your background !!
You are my hero because I would of told them to leave and told the friend to comeback anytime but don't bring her in front of her !LOL

WOW, you put up with her longer than I. About three minutes of that and she would have stayed her welcome and out the door. I'm glad you handled it so much better than I. WTG!!

I agree!

So do I. You have much more patience than I do. I would have shut her down a lot sooner than you did. Sounds like she would be an "expert" in about any subject.

It's one thing being stupid, but, another to open your mouth and prove it. In this case the girl. How terrible for her to act when she knows nothing about quilting. I bet she won't be back.
