the first machine-made quilts were status symbols because it showed the quilter was wealthy enough to afford the machine. they had genuine snob appeal. ain't it a hoot how perspectives change? :lol:
considering how much more difficult it is to do precise piecing and complex quilting by machine than it is to do either by hand, i think those who look down their noses at machine work are a few needles short of a pack. :wink:
Never explain why. When she asks such stupid questions, just look back down your own nose at her and say, "Daaaaahling ... someday ... when you, too, are a real quilter, you'll know why." then back away as though she smells bad. :lol: :lol: :lol:
