You say it surprises you because they are quilters, but like you said.... There is a person behind that blog, and quilting isn't just for nice people.<br /><br />Bullying sucks. And it's really sad that its coming from another adult, I hope she doesn't have children that see her behave like this.... :(<br /><br />Anyway... I don't even know what a tumbler block is so now I have to google that. Lol<br /><br />Your kids are totally adorable, love the blonde hair! Two of my kids had blonde hair like that but it's changed as they've grown :( I miss it!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134872928539596231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948717988935812508.post-9124029045542752282012-11-02T23:52:40.421-06:002012-11-02T23:52:40.421-06:00I agree with you....bullies ARE cowards.

Fear of not being relevant, of not being liked, or of not being cool I think if we can let go of blogging being a popularity contest and celebrate each others unique creative process, then bullying like this in the quilting/sewing/crafting world will hopefully cease.<br /><br />ps. your scarf tutorial is the only one I have ever understoodAunt Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05238621677493985027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948717988935812508.post-40622188157999447152012-11-01T11:43:37.358-06:002012-11-01T11:43:37.358-06:00This is one of the reasons I have hesitated to wri...This is one of the reasons I have hesitated to write any tutorials.

And some of the most wonderful people I know are modern quilters who would never stand for that kind of behavior.<br />It's the shield of the computer screen, protecting the bullies from seeing their victims. But I'm also a believer in the saying that what goes around, comes around. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791242249964743766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948717988935812508.post-33624695018468118892012-10-31T23:09:10.995-06:002012-10-31T23:09:10.995-06:00You CAN only do so much!

It's when you are NOT inspired by a tutorial, or didn't know it existed, or make something somewhat different, and they still want a link...that's when it's wrong.<br />A friend said "they think they invented the wheel, and then want to crucify someone when they make something even remotely round!" :) SO true!<br />Hopefully by talking about it, at least a few of us can think about our actions, and the actions of our friends, before we make fools of ourselves. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791242249964743766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948717988935812508.post-7509024607303099432012-10-31T23:05:41.190-06:002012-10-31T23:05:41.190-06:00Thanks!

To your friend, to my friend, to ANYONE! We're adults, doing something we love...why do we need to tear others down who are also doing what they love?<br />I think it boils down to insecurity.

It surprises me, as it should, that some people never grow up. And we wonder why our children are being bullied. They learn it at home!
