Linda what a great topic. I was feeling kinda blue because I read that some quilters "only" use LQS fabrics or "only" use expensive threads. I'm unemployed so I use what I can afford. Call me a cheap date, but my quilts turn out just fine and my machine sews best with good ol' Coates & Clark thread.
I really don't think there are any "only"s or "must do"s--just enjoy what you do and do it with love.

This reminds me of my oldest son, who is a terrific cook. One Thanksgiving dinner at my house he refused to eat any of my pies because I had used frozen pie crust!

I so agree with you. I will give anything a try once. If it works for me great, if not then I will move on.

I was also faced with someone telling me that my quilts are not quilts because they are tied. I asked her, back during the days of the old west and even after that, were quilts tied??? I do what I can. I love making quilts, experimenting with colors, looking at the next quilt to be more of a challenge then the last. It also relaxes me.I have 2 fabrics with batting in the middle, and tied. I can't afford a machine or sending out.
It's my quilt. I like the results

IMO, "I'd never........." is posting an opinion. And until opinions are banned from this board, I'll continue "I'd never..........."

If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings.
Sell the Model-T. 15mph is too fast.

Wake up and smell today's roses.
