Aren't there enough people in the world belittling what we do in this life, without it happening in our own craft? I'm not coming to your house yanking your quilt from your hands to "heaven forbid" computerize quilt it. I provide a quality service at a reasonable price to those who desire it and for myself. I love working with clients to select just the right pattern and threads that will result in the artistic picture they have in their minds of their finished quilt. When I have time I do charity quilts for free. I am not "cheating" and I am just as artistic as any other quilter in my chosen methods of quilting. It hurts when people say it's cheating or not as authentic as freehand quilting. Why are we hurting each other with this when people are being beheaded in other countries for doing what they feel is right. Let's start encouraging and enjoying our creative freedom in all its forms.
