instead of embracing the new generation of quilt artists they choose to discourage any future efforts they might make.
Please, I beg of you, do not make such sweeping statements about those of us in the "older generation". It is not the age of a person that gives them this attitude, for I have seen it demonstrated here among those who are decades younger and newer to quilting than I. The audence and judging on most levels beyond local, are much more accepting of current and forward thinking techniques and designs, regardless of their age.
