I hope someone told that person that she was out of line. No one can just cut out fabric and throw it at the machine and create an instant quilt (including her!!). Grrrrrrr.... :hunf:

I hope someone said something to the woman who thinks she is the quilt police. That is just nasty. I can never understand why people feel the need to hurt someone's feelings.

This is one reason I don't join a guild. Hopefully someone will have a talk with person that was so rude.

I know that some of my quilts do not fit the taste of many of my fellow guild members. Some of theirs don't suit my taste. I still always, always, always try to find something positive to say about the quilts. It may be the quilting design, the unique color combo, or the way they matched their points. I find that if I look for something good, I like the quilt even if I would never make one like it. We should all do that. Support is why we are in a guild in the first place!

I wouldn't give that person (or their comment) another thought. Don't let ONE bad comment ruin your project or discourage you from quilting. People like that are jealous of your accomplishments and are very insecure about themselves. That's why I will never enter a quilt in a contest or show. They are looking for "bad" things and I don't really care. If I like my quilts I don't care what anyone else thinks of them.

I agree. The nursing profession is way down for more reasons, but one is the fact that "nurses do eat their young".
While that may not be the case in Quilting, Isn't that where the "Quilt Police" come into view.
She was awful to do this.
Evidently, at my quilt group while teaching a class on hand quilting to the group, my friend had a lady stand up and say "No this is how you do it", and took the sewing right out of her hands! These people are out there in about every group, every walk of life.
so sad :(

PEOPLE THIS DAY IN TIME HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THEM SELVES LET ALONE SOME ONE ELSE.THAT IS A SHAME I ALWAYS TRY AND LIFT SOMEONE UP AND INSTEAD OF PUTTING THEM DOWN,BUT I GUESS WE ARE NOT ALIKE.

I very nearly gave up quilting because of a strict and rather nasty police type tutor at my first quilting class. Fortunately I found Kate Woods forum, before it went off line, and the members there were just so helpful and generous that I am now a quilt addict and try to impart my knowledge, in a fun way to anyone who wants to join in my free Patchwork class, the rewards I get is way above monetary values.

Is it possible to take this person on one side and ask her not to be critical?

That is so sad, especially if that was a fairly new person to quilting. Unkind remarks could actually cause her to stop quilting or never show anything again. I hope someone took her aside and reassured her. Her feelings should be the most important thing, the other lady was rude and shows she has no caring for others.
