Perhaps your filter will have improved by that time.

I think you need to check your own filter, my dear. Being 80 does not automatically relegate anyone to filterless status and to assume so is demeaning and insulting. Think on this: unless you die younger, you will live to be 80.

Of course, people who are without control physically, due to actual dementia, or whatever, it is a different matter, but that doesn't sound like this woman's problem (as in OP).

We don't build a fire to toast our bread, we don't mind electric windows, need I go on? LA quilting is a skill. You don't just walk up to one and wala presto beautiful quilting. It takes practice and lots of it. I know, I teach LA quilting. She just doesn't understand. Even in my grandma's day there were critics, how many stitches can you get on your needle at one time? If you got two or twelve, is the quilt any less quilted? I don't think so. Put your headphones back on and quilt and rock on!

i hand quilt my quilts. dont own a LA and cant afford one. I believe that it is one's own choice to machine vs hand quilt.
My question is this: if you only piece the top and have someone else do the quilting, shouldn't both get credit for making the quilt?

Yes, I think the one who quilts should get just as much credit as the piecer, but that's not often the case, unfortunately. The shop owner from whom I rent the LA does some of the most beautiful quilting I have ever seen and, in my opinion, doesn't get enough credit for the amount of time, energy, and love she puts into each quilt.

Now see I would have engaged her in a conversation like this....I would have asked her if she cooked on an electric stove when she cooked and if she said yes, I would ask her why she didn't stay with the old wood stove or cooked out side in a pit. Same for the toilet hahahahahahahh and the list could go on....

Now what kind of a community are we if we can't let a LOL have some fun? ROFLMBO and sympathizing with you. I've never run into anyone quite that rude, and I don't know what might happen if I did...but you did the right thing and I'm sure it deflated her right quick...you rock!
