I am really a newbie, I guess, but the attitudes of some folks -- well, I can't explain it, nor can I accept it. We helped our mother tie quilts when we were 10 or 12 years old. Mom didn't have a quilting frame -- we used what we had. It is amazing to watch the construction of a quilt from the beginning to completion. I'm very grateful for the advantages we have for making quilts today. At the same time, I treasure the quilts I have that my grandmother made, because I know they were "made with love". I hope the recipients of quilts I make as gifts realize that no matter how the quilt is made, it was really "made with love".
