I made my first quilt at the age of 16. It was tied. But I still felt like a quilter! I pieced it on a treadle machine. I wonder what my Aunt and Grandmother would say if they new I bought new fabric just to cut up to make a quilt. We were suppose to make them out of leftover fabrics and usable fabric cut from worn clothes. And we used wool blankets bought from the Salvation Army instead of batting.
Remember how people used to turn their noses up if some one had the audacity to machine quilt rather than tie or hand quilt?
I used to decorate cakes. I was told by some that my cakes were not homemade because I used cake mixes. I used them as an ingredient - I hardly ever made a cake by the directions on the box. So what is the definition of homemade?
Times are a changing!
