It sounds like they were leaning toward a definition that would have been narrow and exclusionary! Narrowing any definition is limiting. I would have left as well as it sounds like the path of the conversation was not liberating only restrictive.

what a waste of time by those cackling hens when they could have been enjoying their time together creating something beautiful and long-lasting - I suppose this is why I am happiest (alone) in my home studio

In the cooking circles Sandra Lee got a bum rap because she mixed fresh ingredients with boxed/canned ingredients (which is how MANY people actually cook). I suppose there are "purists" everywhere. My take is there is enough room for every type of quilter (or piecer, topper, binder) and with all the choices available today, WE PICK WHAT SUITS US! No need to get in an argument over.

I've said it before and I'll say it again (probably many times,LOL) if our great great grandmothers had had sewing machines, rotary cutters, precut templates, etc, they would have used them too. I marvel at the creations they managed without the technology we have, BUT I don't want to go back to that.
We should feel sorry for the quilt police, they obvously aren't enjoying the process.

Paula's recipe: "Melt the butter in small pot and add the peas. Cook over medium heat until peas are warm."
Did I mention these are CANNED peas?

In reality there aren't' enough of these type of quilt police to last through the next generation. (yeah) Most are showing their age by now and all the younger quilters that are avid quilters with blogs do not hand quilt anything, love the modern patterns, and embrace all the new tools and machines. The hand quilted, hand pieced quilts will have a following but it will be by choice not by thinking it's the only way to be a real quilter or make a real quilt.
