Letter writing is becoming more scarce since the emails and texting have advanced.
What do you think? Will hand quilting fade away due to the new long arm machines and new ways to quilt as you go and FMQ - I certainly hope not but I hear less people talking about hand quilting versus machine.
I used to hand quilt and loved everything about it, but then Arthur set in. I can't even pull a needle through a sandwich without a pair of pliers. Sew, if you can't do it one way, you have to adapt. I am grateful for the technology and coming round to admiring the 'handiwork' it helps us produce. Still see handwork and the ability to do handwork as priceless.
