Much to my surprise he turned into a milksop. I think you need to stand up to bullies to make them stop, so after a year and a half I am glad you are breaking your silence.<br />As a new quilter I am so glad that I chanced upon your site as I find you inspiring in your kindness, friendliness, openness, and generosity. I appreciate all the knowledge you share so freely. I enjoy the daily quotes and look to see if they apply to me. One of the last week hit me right between the eyes. Please continue them. <br />I hope that you can absorb all the love that the previous posts have sent you from all over the world. I joy the rest in asking for Gods blessings on you. <br /> Kelsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168067629214376363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-7623335850781626822017-05-25T12:00:36.111-04:002017-05-25T12:00:36.111-04:00It used to be easier in some ways to take the high...It used to be easier in some ways to take the high road and remain silent and then came social media I love it but people do tend to get crazy on it I admire your ability to hold out so long when you probably felt hurt by all the backstabbing manipulation hope finally speaking out will shut down her pity party and give you some well deserved peace Becky cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118007723165136619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52911783907421059652017-05-23T22:37:53.146-04:002017-05-23T22:37:53.146-04:00"Insults are the last resort of insecure peop..."Insults are the last resort of insecure people with a crumbling position trying to appear confident." - moonlight-path.tumblrFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504840529971686793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-58991361667192028662017-05-23T22:26:09.613-04:002017-05-23T22:26:09.613-04:00Oh Bonnie...I'm so sorry for all this sadness....Oh Bonnie...I'm so sorry for all this sadness.I'm heart broken for you.Those of us who have read,listened,learnt and seen your care,compassion for other know.BETTER days are coming.May you reclever more then you've given so many...Praying for your peace and joy...dear BonnieMarysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687366203260502372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8027713097935221172017-05-23T22:09:15.380-04:002017-05-23T22:09:15.380-04:00In my opinion, the only part of the co-designed bl...In my opinion, the only part of the co-designed block that has any appeal is the part you designed, anyway.

I wish some one could PM the name of the bully so I could make sure I do not stumble into her lair by accident and contribute through my wallet to her bullying tactics. Bonnie, I've said it before, and will again, you are my morning sunshine every day. I love your thoughts for the day. Some days it seems they were meant for me alone. Please continue just as you are. You bring so much to so many. Your openness to all the joys you share is just plain awesome.

I'm going through something similar...not with a block design, but an actual quilt I quilted and someone (very close to me and my community) is claiming they "made" the quilt. Please, please don't ever stop putting the "thought of the day" at the end of your posts. They mean so much to me...you would not believe how many times they are an answer to prayer or just what I needed to hear THAT particular day. Taking a workshop/retreat with you has been on my bucket list for years! It's about time I did something about making that one come true!

I hope the groundswell of support and love you are receiving will ease your mind and rest your heart. I've never met you, but I feel as though you are a friend, one I respect and admire. I am sure you are a person of integrity and honesty.

You have now put your truth out there for others to know and now we can share in it as well, and that make us a bigger community. The circle just got bigger.

I was bullied in a similar way at work, which lead to me resigning, an speaking from experience, keeping silent is often the first reaction of people with integrity! The time must have been right for you to be able to share your story. Stay away from these toxic people, and sew..sew..sew. Sewing was my stress relief. Thank goodness for mystery quilts and 1930's Farmers Wife - which allowed me to share my thoughts and feelings on each block on my blog - made me feel much better to 'unload'.<br />One word left to say ...KARMA!

When our friendship ended there was lots said about me apparently, but I did ignore it because I knew that all my proper friends or anybody who knew me well did not believe any of the rubbish. It looks to me like the same goes for you - there are so many of us out here that admire you so much. Keep you chin up and know that all the good people love you.52KIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422987031482083158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-69751665484068081172017-05-22T20:39:16.255-04:002017-05-22T20:39:16.255-04:00Ahhh.
