I couldn't agree more!! Mr. Lipinski is one of quilting's greatest opportunists.
The Slow Stitch concept has been around since at
least 2010, under that very name in fact, and now it's being promoted as "an illuminating revolution within the stitching and fiber art industry, launched by international quilting personality Mark Lipinski." BUNK!
It's merely the same old Process vs Product work focus that has been around since man started making tools with his own two hands. Some of us are Process workers, some are Product workers, and a very large number of us move back and forth between the two as the individual case dictates.
Whether your joy comes from the action (process) or the result (product), what matters is that you made something that didn't exist before you used your head, heart, and hands to create it. Be very proud of that. Creativity rocks!!
