I have to laugh when I read about the Quilt Police. When my non-quilting pals oh and ah at my quilts and ask me if I enter my quilts in shows, I tell them no, because I don't want the quilt police to tell me all the things that are wrong with them. I did enter several quilts a long time ago, and one quilt was accepted. One judge like my use of color. Another only commented 'there's something wrong with the tension on your sewing machine.' She was right, but she could have at least tried to find one positive thing to say, too! Sigh. I give away most of my quilts (at least 150) - usually as wedding and baby gifts. But I keep pictures of them, so I haven't completely given them away. I figure 100 years from now a quilt historian will start finding JoanneS's quilts all over the US and wonder if she was just one person.
