EllieGirl, REMEMBER we are QUILTERS!!!! That makes us the people who see BEAUTY, GRACE and GREAT DEALS all around us. We come from STRONG! stock. We learn to make SOMETHING from NOTHING!!!! We know how to make people feel love (from the things - sewing & quilting), we make. Some of us sew by HAND. Some sew on a machine OVER 100 yerar old (with out power other than from them). Still others sew on HAND-ME-DOWN machines (from friends, sisters, mothers and grandmothers). And still others sew on NEW machines (that some can only dream about). Even after all the different quilters, machines and kinds of quilts - we ALL do the same thing in different ways. But we do this for the SAME reason - THE LOVE OF QUILTING!!!!!! Remember your quilts show YOUR HEART AND SOUL!!!! not your machine. People do not see your machine, they see YOU and YOUR LOVE AND KINDNESS. Never feel BAD about anything you make or use to make your gifts from the heart.
