Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was reading the thread called Remember When and thinking about the inovations that have come along, like scissors to rotary cutting to die cutting, etc. If you put on your imagination caps what do you think the future might hold for quilters and tools and techniques?
Maybe there will be a fabric woven with a thread you can pull and it separates into squares or triangles. Or a home laser cutting device.
I am waiting for something I can't live without.

Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
I hope I'm able to look down from Heaven someday and see whatever it is for myself.
I also hope, when I get there, God will have designed my 'mansion' with a glorious sewing studio!

I really don't care what is in the future. I am happy to be quilting with my rotary cutter and mat. Not interesting in any of the die cut gadgets.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Who knows, there just might be an app for technical devices to help complete projects at home from the place of employment. Just plug the machines, vintage and current with USB adapters into the devices and for a few minutes at a time let the chain piecing begin!!!
Jan, I hope we are neighbors.I hope I'm able to look down from Heaven someday and see whatever it is for myself.

I see a lot of us want to join you, Jan. Maybe we could have a "Quilters' Compound" where each house has a sewing studio and there is a community quilting center where we can meet when we want to!I hope I'm able to look down from Heaven someday and see whatever it is for myself.

Fabric with GPS to locate stolen quilts, find lost campers or children, etc. was the first thing I thought of.
Whatever lies in the future, you can be assured that there will still be a great many quilters who stick with the centuries old ways of making quilts. It won't be like trying to find a rotary dial telephone or a CRT television today. I'm betting there will always be scissors and needles and pins just as there will always be hand saws and hammers and nails. Some things simply (and thankfully) defy obsolescence.
The Earth without art is just "Eh".
We'll be able to buy lasers for cutting fabric. Can you tell I hate cutting?
