If the folk in that group think badly of you, so what? Its their loss, not yours. I admire your integrity for sticking to your guns and coming out and saying it. Never apologise for who you are. xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039822866062207299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-63855587212122401532012-06-11T10:51:16.221-07:002012-06-11T10:51:16.221-07:00Thankfully our supermarkets only seem to ever have...Thankfully our supermarkets only seem to ever have local charities collecting on Saturdays (and even then, rarely), and I never shop on a Saturday, plus they never have people outside soliciting, move over here, you'll be sorted ;o) Failing that, good luck with Target!<br /><br />I turned off Facebook notifications, so if anyone added me, I'm ignoring them lol <br /><br />For the techniques, I am in a similarly awkward situation right now - 2 weekends ago I was at a big modern quilting event down in London and learned a really cool technique in one of the classes which, had I actually thought about it, I could probably have worked it out for myself having seen the quilt in question. It was my favourite class of the weekend and has changed a planned upcoming quilt. I mentioned this in a post summary of the retreat, and a friend then asked if it was like technique x. Um, no, it's totally different, but I gave a very loose general description of how it was done. Now she wants more details. It's not my technique to teach, and I don't want to do the teacher out of prospective class attendees (as she actually lives in the greater London area, like the girl that was teaching) Plus, I feel that having been given a step for a hint, she should be able to work it out herself. Right now I'm just not replying until I can work out what to say...Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-48771443092600769202012-06-11T08:56:45.709-07:002012-06-11T08:56:45.709-07:00I had the charity thing in store, I gave as it wa...I had the charity thing in store, I gave as it was for a local girl. Then in the next store I was asked again, sorry I've already given in the other one. I did not like she asked and unlike the other store it was my decision, no asking. Checkout asking is a step too far in my book!<br /><br />With the facebook thing I just untick so I don't get the emails buts thats if I don't mind still being in the group. In the one you describe I can see where you're coming from and perhaps best to just opt out. Should be invites not someone else joining you up, that would be better.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023925707643985411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-83972882465077746232012-06-11T06:12:25.028-07:002012-06-11T06:12:25.028-07:00Oops that was supposed to be I don't know...I ...Oops that was supposed to be I don't know...I am tired and can't type.

An artist shouldn't be harassed or put down because they won't give away all their secrets!<br /><br />That's just people being lazy and not wanting to work to figure things out for themselves!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-19057721822003904972012-06-11T05:40:20.679-07:002012-06-11T05:40:20.679-07:00I'm sorry life is getting complicated for you....I'm sorry life is getting complicated for you.<br />HugsKays Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827563377809065783noreply@blogger.com
