Students - was LQS Complaints--Other shoe; same foot.
Cheryl, you described my problem student so well I'd think we had the same
one. She is such a trial and she is just sooooo exhausting. Mercy. But (!) she has such a faint bit of self esteem. Her family tells her constantly that she never finishes anything and never does anything well. I will cheer her on and help her if it kills me. It just might. Polly Cheryl wrote, in part, I have a newbie student who does that to me all the time. Starts one quilt and when it is set up to be continued at home she then turns up with no warning and announces "I have this idea for a new quilt". I have learned to dread those words. She is so keen I can't bring myself to tell her to go away, and her work is lovely when finished. But we are now venturing into techniques of piecing where accurate seams are critical (triangles, etc). Up to now she has just raced through a lot and been very much "near enough is good enough", and I have had to come up with solutions when things didn't meet up exactly. But last night I warned her that this was no longer possible and she had to be more careful. On she sailed! |

LQS Complaints--Other shoe; same foot.
My Mother would take ALL 8 of us shopping with her...our hands were IN OUR
POCKETS or we sat in the car if we didn't(sometimes dad was there waiting with us, sometimes we were on our own) until she was done. Period....end of discussion. We learned at an EARLY AGE that yelling, running, touching was NOT ALLOWED. No way No how or we stayed home the next time and the ONLY THING we got was to partake in the groceries. How mom remembered which one(s) of us stayed home was beyond me as she went shopping every other weekend. Children were SEEN and NOT heard. ONE look from Mom or Dad was enuf to stop us right then and there. Greatest compliment we received was from shopkeepers/clerks that asked to wait on us---even called one fella, Uncle Milt--(shoe salesman) Had one store where the owner would give EACH of us a candy bar just before we left---you better believe we were beyond angels in his store and he sold everything from tractors to groceries. When we got older, we stayed home to do 'chores' (usually staying with the baby, too) and dad worked in the fields and would come in at lunchtime and 'help' us make lunch--we did it--he made sure we didn't get hurt. (He taught me how to peel potatoes with a paring knife and to this day I can't use a peeler on them : ) Children WILL learn if they are taught proper manners starting at an early age. Butterfly (who is NOT afraid to tell the parents that their child(ren) are well mannered in front of that child(ren) "Cats" wrote in message ... My mother was not a quilter, but was a sewer. I can remember being taken into innumerable fabric stores, and knowing from a very early age that I was to wait quietly for my mother to complete her shopping - no touching, no running, no yelling. My younger sister and I always accompanied her when she shopped. I don't think it hurt either of us to learn the appropriate standard of behaviour for public places at a very early age. And the shop keepers were NEVER expected to provide entertainment or supervision for us. We loved going around with her, and while good behaviour was expected we usually got an icecream or similar for being good. I sometimes have sewers come here with grandchildren in tow. Once in a while this is unavoidable (family drama, etc) but I politely discourage this as a regular thing because this is not an area set up for children and I cannot be responsible for their safety around sharp and pointy things. The OH&S/liability issues for adults are bad enough. Everything in life should not be geared around the possible effects of an uncontrolled toddler/child. Sorry if this makes me a grouch but I don't feel that shops should have to provide a child entertainment area in order to stay in business, and I don't enjoy having to fight the HUGE strollers in use today in narrow aisles when I am shopping. I have enough mobility issues of my own.
