Art or craft? I used to paint, and some people liked my paintings. I kept what I liked, gave some away, but it was not as fulfilling as making a simple rag quilt that someone just loves to cuddle with or a lap quilt to keep someone warm, or a bed quilt to give pleasure and beauty to a bedroom.... Art and crafts are rather like cooking. We can use the same recipe, but it will still taste (and look) different to different people. I seldom use a recipe after six decades of cooking. But once in awhile, something new is tried. Same with quilting, if you love doing it, and it gives pleasure, then go for it. If you want to be a fabric artisan, the by all means go for it. We are all unique, thanks to our Maker. We are all artists in a sense, so just enjoy whatever YOU are, and don't worry about measuring up to other standards. I send you thoughts of love and blessings to be the best YOU that you know how. No one else can do that but you. RMW
