I think this right on trend as the marketers & guilds have become more concerned about luring in the 20 to 30 year Ole's. And yes, that demographic would most likely be reclining somewhere with their tablet to check out what classes are being offered. Seriously, I doubt the offended here were the target of the ad.

However I ...I agree with Klue that it is inclusive. However I do still think it is dumb to have a semi-scantily dressed hottie looking at a tablet on a quilt at the park. (See the grass along the edge? Pretty sure the quilt is on grass.) <br /><br />Also if I saw that photo, the last topic I would assume is quilting. Perhaps it is age-ist of me, but she looks like she's going to be looking at a makeup webinar, or a haul video. Not quilting. Laying on a quilt at the park does not even remotely indicate an interest in quilting, but perhaps that stock photo is all they could afford.

This creates such wonderful and diverse quilts. Now, I don't know of any who quilt in lingerie and if there are any out there, they are certainly in the minority. And, yes, the 30's rule everything! Unfair, yes; but, oh the memories of those days.
