I was at a family funeral and the person who died had his first wife show up. I was talking to my cousin about quilting when this first wife said loudly how she hand pieced and hand quilted only. She said it took her two years to make one quilt. She started yada yada yada about hand sewing and how that is the only way to make a quilt. I stood up from the table and walked off.
Her bragging and putting my cousin and myself down was really bothering me. Since 1992 I've made over 50 quilts and no one that I've given a quilt to has even said a word about them being sewn with a sewing machine or quilted by a LAer. It was the first time in 15 years I saw my cousin and we found out that we both quilted and this lady ruined it for the both of us. I don't know if I'll see my cousin again and I'm frustrated by this lady's bragging. Why do people who hand sew think they have the right to brag to people who machine sew?
