We used to take photos from a brownie and develop them in a dark room. Editing was very difficult. Now we do it digitally and edit with software. The photos are more beautiful and take a certain talent to edit and they serve the same purpose. Quilts take a talented person to create it no matter how they are created; it is an art. Some people are just rude and can't see past their nose. Don't let it bother you. He probably has never created one himself! LOL!

This was a large full size which I had quilted double feathered wreaths on, so it took about 15 hours of quilting time. He grunted and made a comment about he bet the fabric was even new. Then he went into a loud and lenghty speach about how women these days don't know how to make a quilt. How they (quilts) should be made from scraps of clothing. Should never be made from new material. Should all be done by hand, etc. on and on. I really felt small. I finally folded my quilt and went to my car to wait on my husband.
