I love going to quilt shows. It is so amazing how diverse quilters can be. I tend to like hand quilted better than machine quilted, but sometimes the art form is so powerful that it carries the machine quilting in a beautiful way. Oh, I do not have the natural talent of the award winners, or the experience in techniques they possess, but I enjoy being able to see first hand the creations of another quilter. They are an inspiration, not an intimidation.
