There is a place for ALL that we do. By the way, next time I show off a quilt, and his JAW drops, he might hear that he will NEVER get one of my quilts. And I did not picket his cabinet shop with signs that said he was a cheater because he uses POWER TOOLS instead of hand tools. ....ok...sorry! Off my soap box now...I love it ALL..hand, machine, quilt for hire, do all your own... we need to back ourselves up, not knock ourselves down.
AMEN soccertxi, I totally agree with you. Thingfs change, it is ok if someone wants to do things by hand or the old way but these are new times and most things are done the easier way. I hate it when some people are so critical and like to put down other people and what they do. Keep doing what you love and just give Him a piece of your mind the next time. I would let Hi8m know that He would never get one of your Quilts and I would also ask Him why He don't do all His work without power tools, it is the same!!! Have a wonderful Easter and keep Quilting the way you love to.
