    I think the author may have gotten a proper attitude adjustment by now... if not I would be a willing participant/ volunteer in that assignment.

    I love when people rant about things they know nothing about. It really does make them look uneducated. I am just surprised it was actually published by the editor without really checking into it.

    I agree. The person who wrote this knows nothing about the subject. The editors who published it obviously aren't qualified to be editors.

    Many things bother me about that article, but the most irksome is the fact that the author didn't have the guts to sign it - and the publisher condoned it. Shame on both of them.
    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    Hard to believe that this was written...quilting is a huge part of our American heritage and a form of art...I think the writer is very ignorant, and that someone needs to educate them. 2 of my friends were recently there for a tour, and were very impressed. We need to preserve handmade quilts...not trivialize them as if they are the same as mass produced quilts. Makes me sad...and angry that someone would write an article like this...and think that tax dollars are wasted for this museum. I think tax dollars are being used in a good way and would rather my dollars go to this, than a lot of other things they go towards.

    The author is obviously very peeved that quilt money is not going to pay for more free cell phones to all that are entitled.

    AHHH BellaBoo don't even get me started on free cell phones....This article is obviously not researched. I hope the author was not paid for this drivel.

    DITTO! And did they publish an article like this on the $50, million tax dollars for the bridge to nowhere?
