Hmmm........... This is what struck me most about about your comments about others 'elitist attitude', is that you yourself appear to hold some of these views.
You justify yourself when you say, "I always have a hand quilting project on the go" almost as if this is some sort of mollification. When you say "at least I complete things" when referring to machine work and, "OK, they are not heirloom quilts". Why on earth not??
I've never sewn by hand, never intend to and if someone intimated that anything I made was not 'heirloom' my DD would have something resounding to say.
