LOL!! I'm losing the will power that keeps me from stopping people and complimenting their clothing. OH NO! What am I gonna do? I think I need some serious intervention!!! :-)
    LOL I was at a stop sign and 2 woman were crossing in front of me and I did not realize but I must have been staring cause the older woman was giving me a dirty look ! I rolled down the window and complemted her and she smiled and thanked me ! whew !! quilts quilts quilts are just everywhere !!! LOL

    Oh how funny! We all have tunnel vision, I'm convinced!!
    But just think of how much that compliment meant to her. You just may have made her day! :)

    You're not going to do anything. As a former Mary Kay consultant - there is abolutely nothing wrong with a person to stop and give another person a compliment. I often stop and compliment people on neat things. Be it clothing, hair, shoes - whatever. It makes them smille and that, of course, is a beautiful thing.

    For one of my public speaking assignments, I took a pair of scissors and advanced on my unsuspecting classmates saying: "Be afraid, be very afraid of the crazy woman attacking you with sheers. Be afraid that she will want to cut up some of your clothing for a patchwork quilt." You should have seen the looks on their faces.

    I wasn't able to compliment the person I saw because he was in a movie. He was wearing a green/white shirt which would go perfect with other fabric I have :D :D
