Okay ladies (and gents) - here is a real, live quilt Policewoman. She is my mother. We truly have a good relationship, but I know how she is ...
Block flipper. If she's looking at an unfinished piece she flips it to check out the seams. So ... I don't let her see anything unfinished. She loves the quilt shown in the picture here, but will not call it a quilt because it won't fit on a bed. It's a throw. Everything I've ever shown her ... ever ... she has told me how it could have been done better. HER mother however - my grandmother ... was the definition of unconditional love ... so between them guess I had the best of both! http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-138649-1.htm |
Dear Jo, The feline quilt police made my day. Thanks for a good laugh. How did you get the cat to hold still for that garb?

I think they have a pointed nose and a cruel sharp tongue. They also seem to think pretty highly of their self and think they've never done anything wrong in their life.

Squinty-eyed with a long, pointy nose and a very sharp tongue!

I think the biggest clue is the mouth drawn up into a tight, straight line...no "eye crinkles" from laughter, either! Other than that, they usually look fairly normal until you introduce a quilt into the setting... :D

They typically start with phrases Like : "I would never", or "Is this your first quilt?" or the most obvious "why don't you....." Or the most offensive "a good quilter would have......" Sounds like many of us carry some of these "phrases." |

I wish she would be quiet sometimes. |
The quilt police come in all shapes and sizes. The one I know personally comes off so nice until there is a controversy in how to do something, then she is the "authority" on all forms of quilting and techniques. She has always done whatever it is before and KNOWS she is right. I just smile sweetly and do it my way. ha.
