This is so me! I am what I call a selfish quilter. I sew and quilt to please me how I want to do. I know to be nice to most all who give their opinion of what I do wrong but in my head I'm saying Lady I don't care if you are right.

Watched this yesterday. I need to make an official "I don't Care" nametag
. I have realized that I will never be an award winning quilter and just make them for the joy of sewing. It keeps me out of trouble

That is funny! It so often happens with non quilters who just don't understand. My rule is I don't let anyone tell me what I have to sew. My time, my talent, my money. My sewing studio. Period. Love the I don't care club.

I agree! But I have noticed lately that non-quilters rarely say that machine quilted items aren't "real" quilts anymore. I used to drive me crazy when people told me that their "grandmas were real quilters who made everything by hand."

I use to hear 'real quilter' a lot. And mostly from old men! I would say no one thinks that anymore, hand stitched is one way to make a quilt if the quilter wants to. I'm not hearing that 'real' stuff much now.
