Quilt Police definition for Newbies!
Definition = Self appointed, usually smug people, who have given themselves permission to critique and demoralize other quilters. They will complain, compare, and nit-pick your work to death, just to satisfy some strange emptiness in themselves. Most quilt police, instead of making quilts, spend all of their time seeking other quilters to annoy.
Synonyms = Creep, kill joy, jerk, know it all, loser, etc.

I will never quilt well enough for competition. My two favorite sayings are:
Finished is better than perfect
and
If you can't wrap a sick child in it, it isn't a quilt.
The second one isn't set in stone. Wall hangings, table toppers, place mats, anything that is done with love is a quilt.

I took a class at a quilt shop once and I couldn't believe how snippy people were. First of all the teacher told me she didn't like the rotary cutter I had and then a couple of people asked why I chose the colors I did. They wanted to sell me a few new fabrics. That was it for me as far as live classes go. I prefer you tube for instruction.
