i'm wondering and pondering.
i used to think quilting was uniquely American. once i joined the board i was amazed (and pleased) to discover that it's an international obsession.
is it possible your friends don't feel a "connection" to quilts as part of their history or heritage? is it "not English enough"? (i don't mean that as a criticism. only to wonder if there's a reason they don't see the point, or feel the pull like we do?)
can you show them otherwise? find a way to connect quilting to your unique community?
do my questions even make sense outside my little corner of the universe?
