glassnquilts

I have a dear friend that does needle turn applique. I do landscape quilts and art quilts with fusible raw edge applique. She refuses to call what I do applique because each edge is not individually stitched down. We teach collage classes together but she was setting up a class for us to teach fusible applique. She told the shop owner that the way i do it is collaging. But there is far more to it than fusing down a bunch of oddly shaped motifs. I trace patterns, configure and fuse many carefully planned parts. When I longarm quilt it, the stitches hold it all down. I feel like she is downplaying what I do.
I think maybe we need to come up with a mutually acceptable term that doesn't insult my process or hers. Any thoughts?
