I had a woman ask me how I quilted and I replied 'any way I can'. Then she asked me if I quilted by hand or by machine. I said 'both'. She made a face and said she only quilted by hand. I was ready for her if she said anymore. I was going to ask her if she made her butter by churning it. If she still ironed all her clothes after she hung them on the line to dry. I could go on and on but I'm sure you get the message. I still remember the gal who told me that in her own opinion the only 'good' quilts were those that were hand pieced and hand quilted.
