I guess I wouldn't share showing my quilts to her. And if you want to be honest about her quilts, then say what you really think. Maybe it might show her (after a while) why you don't bring yours to share anymore and also make her re-think how she's acting about hers and not responding in kind. But people here are very kind and always enjoy seeing what each other has been doing....why not share here instead???

Some people seem to suck the life out of you each time you meet them.
One of the most up-beat people I've ever met in my whole life was a lady who lived here in my town. Everyone who met her went away feeling uplifted and upbeat.
This lady was one of the last paralyzed polio victims still in an iron lung..she only had limited motion in her neck. She was the
loveliest and most upbeat person I've ever met. Long may Kathy's memory last.
Others can go take someone else down, I've been blessed to meet the best type of human being.

I didn't know it was from Alanon but someone told me that a few years ago and I must have forgotten it. It is true, no matter where it came from and thanks for caring enuf to reply. It helps me think thru this thing!!

About the same way. I like her and her quilts and I'm honest in my praise. It's just the lack of return in kind that bothers me. Some of you are so wise!! You see this situation so clearly. Maybe I'm too close?? Thanks

I agree with AliKat. This is not friend. Friends don't treat each other that way. Start looking for a new friend with whom you can share honestly.

I know the feeling. We have one too in our group and others don't bring show and tell if she's going to be there. She's a wonderful quilter but very critical of others. Grabs them right away and begins to examine them closely. So, we just protect ourselves and when we know she's going to be there, we don't share!! Sad?? I think so.

Sounds like an energy vampire.
