What does that word mean to you?

Hmmmmm----

When I make homemade brownies, I get out flour, sugar, cocoa, eggs, etc.

When my adult daughter makes homemade brownies, she gets out a box, 2 eggs, oil and water.

We do agree that brownies purchased in a store are not homemade.

Homemade to me is anything I make mostly by myself. I agree that Brownies from a mix still counts as homemade because you have to add ingredients, mix and cook yourself.

If you are talking about quilting items, if they are already made and I am adding a decoration or applique, then I can't consider the finished product as homemade. If I buy quilted material that I have to sew and make into something, then that is homemade.

Why the question? What was your point in asking this question?

If I make it at home, it's homemade to me.

To me it is something that one person makes with loving care that is usually given to or shared with someone that they consider to be very special.

Children. Both my children were homemade.

To me, I think of it as putting my love and heart into an item that I made especially for someone special.

Homemade to me is something I make myself from scratch. If it is quilting/sewing/craft related that means the item is made by me but can incorporate recycled/repurposed items. One example: items from felted wool sweaters. Using the brownies as an example-made flour, eggs, cocoa,=homemade. Box=homeBAKED.
