Unless they are in a show or being judged somewhere, I simply don't worry about it. I have too many other things to be concerned with.

I don't know what they are but these thangs we are making sure are pretty. Guess I will just keep making them and call them whatever I choose. Sometimes some of them cause me to call them junk, stupid, impossible or lovely.

An art quilt is just that...an art quilt or a wall hanging, or whatever. But it is still a quilt. People can argue all they want, but a quilt is a quilt is a quilt. :!: |

Everyone can look up the meaning of Quilt on Google , it defines what a Quilt is and what is Quilting , I just did and was surprised at what I read, its crazy to dispute anything before you know
I myself love the art of sewing in any style, and very much enjoy everyones work here no matter what they make , so please look it up and see the definition of Quilt.. sorry had to look it up myself and had to reply to this thread.. love everyone here and their work.. |
Ohh just to let you all know I have been quilting from age 8 yrs , my grandmother had shown me then in hand quilting, I just learned to quilt by machine, and love it , its faster lol, but still quilt some by hand , I love that too , its not as fast though

What irritates me are wall hangings. If it is a wall hanging, it should be categorized as a wall hanging. If it is quilted, it is a quilted wall hanging. This idea of finding a pattern you really like and then find it is a wall hanging and only gives size and directions for a wall hanging is completely absurd to me. Yes, some are quite beautiful, but they are still not quilts, they are wall hangings. There, I finally got that out of my system. I hope somebody agrees with me. |
