    Maybe you can cut her two pieces of green fabric, sew them together, and give it to her. :lol: :lol:
    I was going to suggest the same thing! Tell her here is her chair cover...

    Sorry to hear this :cry: "It is what it is"
    It sounds like she DOESN"T have a life and lives vicariously through gossip and neighbors. Coming into you, well jealously come to mind. You have something going on and she doesn't.
    Is there a SSCenter you could take her too?? Or lunch with her friends?? I'm not taking her side,just to get her off of yours so you can sew. It might make her a happier person.
    How is the job hunting going??? It was TERRIBLE what your friend did to you on your last interview.
    Buy the way, the quilt sounds beautiful you are making............

    Gee, you'd rather quilt than listen to gossip about the neighbors??? hee hee
    I know this thread wasn't meant to be funny but people like that make me laugh. Whenever someone says something nasty I just think to myself "Consider the source".
    Maride you deserve a medal for keeping quiet but that's the best thing you could have done. We all love your work and I hope you find your own place soon.
    HUGS

    Hope you are still putting ice on your swollen tongue :wink: Because I bet it is really swollen from where you had to keep biting it :shock:

    Good for you for being the better person :thumbup:

    I guess that is what the old saying "grin and bear it" was meant for! She sounds like a miserable person....enough said! ;-)

    The world is made up of some interesting people. We can't all have the same passion (or there just wouldn't be enough fabric to go around)!

    I had a MIL like this for years, and I hate to say it, but now that she is gone I don't miss her one bit. I think about all of the heartache she caused and how it is a relief not to have her around anymore, and it makes me more conscious of how I treat other family members. I don't ever want anyone to be relieved when I am no longer around. I want to be missed in a good way.

    It is sad that she is so lonely it may have been her way to try to start a conversation with you. Sometimes when people live in their own worlds it is hard for them to live in the real life. My grandmother only has her TV friends. She may have seen that it matches her decor or something like that. My experience with MIL's is non exsistant she hated me from the begining and we have not seen her in 9 years. I know it is hard to hear but maybe it was her way of getting to know you. Yes her way is rude but if all she nows is her TV friends this is all she has. Take care and know that this online family loves your work and it is incredible that you can share this with us! and Please post a picture of your quilt I would love to see is since I have yet to try hand quilting!
