Well, I don't like Sunbonnet Sue or Fisherman Sam, but I won't run down someone who does them. I also don't care for crazy quilts, but I sure wouldn't criticize anyone who put all that work into one. I have embroidery machines, and I have a computerized longarm. I have arthritis in my hands and can't do the hand stitching any more. There is a whole lot of work that goes into the preparation for machine embroidery and computerized quilting. And as said previously, if you don't like what you are getting, then don't join. I stopped joining swaps because I was working many hours to make a wonderful wall hanging and received something that only took a couple hours. That is not the object of the swaps. If it stops being fun then by all means quit.
