what a shame she is missing so much by not going to a quilt show, every show I have been to has some thing for every one!

A couple of the ladies at my church put out a contract on me for taking the raffle quilt to a LAQ. No one wants to take the time to do the hand quilting, and I personally hate hand quilting, although I enjoy the piecing. A few of the ladies who po-poed my having the quilt done by machine have decided that they LOVE this quilt.

I love trying to new things.

Unless it's in regard to a safety issue, I just don't listen when someone says to always or never do something. Generally they're just too full of their own importance. :lol:

Good for you!! Hey the first quilters did that where would we be?? Still doing nine patches only!! You never know what you can make or do if you don't try!!

I really don't think there are any "only"s or "must do"s--just enjoy what you do and do it with love. |
Breaking the rules in quilting is called "creativity"!! How boring it would be if we all made our quilts exactly alike. I will try any and all techniques, fabrics, threads, whatever. Some are "keepers" and others are not for me but may be perfect for someone else. say each of us should do what makes you happy.
