I am glad your husband said something. But since you cant control what your FIL does I think you both should come up with a plan for what you can do if she keeps it up or confronts you. I think having boundaries is a good idea and sometimes you have to set them like : " i Do not need your advice or opinion on this" " Thank you for your concern but this situation does not have anything to do with you." " I need you to respect my boundaries or we will have to leave" Once you have set or stated your boundaries then you have to hold your end up. You will have to leave or pull back if she continues to violate them. You have to set them with the FIL as well and maintain them.
