  kill·joy /ˈkilˌjoi/ Learn to pronounce noun a person who deliberately spoils the enjoyment of others through resentful or overly sober behavior. I admit that the term "killjoy" doesn't exactly fit here, but I think it captures the essence of what I'm sharing about today. One of the many Facebook quilting groups I'm a member of is a group dedicated to a block of the month program I participated in a few years ago.
