I used to hand stitch only and had taken a wall hanging that I was in the process of quilting in to the LQS that was owned by a friend to show her. She was commenting on my stitching and another shopper came over. She looked at the seams closely and said "that's not hand sewn.. that's done on a sewing machine". I explained that I had made it and yes.. it was totally by hand.. she had the audacity to argue with me.. until I gave her a demo.. then she asked if I was going to hand quilt it and I explained that I was in the process and that I did a stab stitch or a needlepoint type quilting stitch.. she sniffed and told me that I "just didn't know how to quilt". I said.. well.. there are 3 layers and the stitching holds them all together so I guess that qualifies for quilting..
On the other part of the subject My grandmother for years (the dear tactless soul... bless her heart) would tell me I didn't need a man. they were just trouble.. finally one day to my surprise she confronted me and asked when I was going to get married.. about the 3rd time she did it.. I was frustrated and came back with "when someone answers the ad in the paper"..That ended that subject..lol.... much later in life she told me that perhaps I was the smartest one of the bunch...lol. I was the only one who had never married at that point.
