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..........."

I bet she doesn't know how many hand quilted beauties she is missing!
