Thumbs up Less than?

I'm getting this read late (by a couple days) so you may have already been informed of:

Back around 1996 when I got my first quilt frame that was designed to be used with a domestic machine, all the quilt shows I went to looked down their noses at ANY machine quilted quilt; they were 'accepted' but 'not really' quilts because they weren't hand quilted. A few years before that, the difference between hand piecing and machine piecing was met with the same attitude. Times change. I've heard some people call a quilt made from a panel "just a comforter" and not really a quilt. Some still have the same attitude about tied quilts that 'really aren't quilted, their just tied'.

So, foo on them. If I call it a quilt, it's a quilt. There's nothing wrong with your work or your skill level. What's RIGHT about your work and your skill level is what it does FOR you, and any other good that comes from it.

Chin up gal. We're on your side.
