Sil-Silent treatment on both sides

Generally have an ok relationship with sil(my DH brothers wife). We were closer years ago when our dc were younger(same age).Never had any arguments and when I do see her at family events we have a great time. I noticed that over the last while that it was always me who would initiate contact. She always replied and we would text back and forth all night and have a laugh. I found out in May that something I had said at sil wedding was said back to my mil, who I have a very difficult relationship with. I was talking to sols mother, who I know well and I was saying how great it was that she helped out so much with her grandchildren. I said "nobody minds our children". This is true and I included my own mother in that. This was said back to mil who was not impressed. The thing is we don't know if sil or her mother relayed this information back to mil. I decided to say nothing to SIL and stopped texting. That was May and neither of us have been in touch with each other. She has texted my DH twice about family events that she would have normally contacted me about. I will be seeing her on Friday and I don know if I should say something. We also don't know if mil told her that we know about the comment and if that's why she's not been in touch. .

How do you know it's been relayed back to your MIL?

No it definstely wasn't BIL, not his style, he's very quiet and wouldn't engage is back biting or gossip. Mil blocked me on What's app and when DH asked her why she said it was because of what I said. I was admiring sils mother for being so hands on with her grandchildren. I said, my mother never minds our children, nobody minds out children. This is a fact, so not critical at all.
