Now, look at the marvelous things people do with quilting and art and the wonderful machines and tools available to us. Each of us has a place on that spectrum. I love my journey! I love the comeback above.
Shouldn’t be allowed... interesting. I’ve never been to a quilt show before. Do they have separate showcases or galleries for quilts made entirely by hand? Or is there no need to make the distinction nowadays?
Well stated, we definitely have a place on the spectrum! I love all aspects of this craft, all styles, all techniques... a fantastic journey, indeed.
