Took my packages to the post office, clerk asked the usual questions....fragile, perishable, hazardous....I said no, I am a quilter and they were quilt blocks being sent out for a block swap. Lady behind me asked if they hand or machine quilted. I replied, machine. She said, "Well, that really ISN'T quilting."
Let me clarify, she asked if I machine or hand quilted my pieces....
Again, I definately know there is a skill in hand quilting. I truly admire anyone who can do it....I just haven't reached that level yet.
