I think you have taken that statement the wrong way and should not say it is rude. In no way was her post rude or demeaning. I think the poster was trying to emphasize the extra time, patience, dedication and perserverance that goes into hand quilting. I think of it like a race horse that will keep on running in a race even with a broken leg. Or a dog that travels miles and miles across country to reunite with an owner. We have all heard those human interest stories. Most people say about that race horse or dog, what a heart that animal has, meaning the perseverance, dedication and determination to keep at it. It has nothing to do with love although we like to all think we all put love into our quilts when we make them it is a different experience for a quilt that has been years in the birthing as opposed to weeks. Just sayin.
