Your family will thank you, especially your grandchildren or great-grandchildren that take up quilting. You never know!

I was admiring a quilt at the Sister's Show that was pieced fairly simply but had a neat story to tell on the embroidered blocks of where the family or individual had been stationed in the military. Two of the Quilt Police Guild wandered, no stomped, up and sniffed and pointed out that it was not done "right" because it had MACHINE EMBROIDERY on it!
I couldn't figure out why the machine piecing and quilting didn't bother them, just the machine embroidery.
