Recently a woman I just met told me that she did real quilting, she quilted by hand. I told her that was wonderful and I was very sincere. However, I choose to use a machine to make my quilts. I LOVE quilting. I love picking out fabric, even though I have a hard time with it; I love picking the pattern; I love cutting out the pieces; I love the process of putting it together; and I even love putting on the binding and labeling it. Isn't that the point, doing something we love and sharing it with people we love whichever method we choose to use?
