Are we now depending on gidgets and gadgets and modern machines too much?
I know we can whip out amazing quilts in days instead of weeks/months, I am just wondering if new is always better?

No, of course old is better. I'll just hitch the horse up and get in my buggy and drive to the fabric store. No wait - not old enough. I'll do without a buggy - or a horse - or a fabric store. And get into those fields and harvest my cotton, and spin my threads and weave my fabric.Of course, I AM depending on that modern invention the loom. HAHA! :) Guess what I really think??
