ONCE MORE on this subject.....i told a friend about this and she asked what I said or did. I told her that she was older than I was and out of respect I kept my mouth shut and my hands to myself. I told I had feeling I would liked to have slapped her! to my surprise, she said, "then you should have hit her twice, once for me,too!"

I always say when someone acts stupid or rude "There are a lot of mean people in the world". You could have told her she must have taken her mean pills this morning and they are working very well. She probably uses a washing machine and dishwasher, instead of doing them the 'real way', by hand. Quilting by machine holds the layers together very well. Using a machine is called progress just like using washing machines and dishwashers and driving cars instead of horses and buggies. You could have told her you prefer to be a Modern Millie. She is probably jealous cause she can't figure out how to use a sewing machine. I have handquilted about 24 quilts and believe me I like the machine quilting much better, it's faster and easier on my fingers.

Isn't that what machines are for, if I had to (hand QUILT)
my quilts I never would have any done because my hand sewing is so lousy. Thats what top stitching is for on the sewing machine instead of appliqueing
As for that Woman(The post office lady) she needs a kick in the ##%%

I learned to hand piece and hand quilt and I am proud of the ones that I have made, however, it takes FOREVER to finish one. I am so jealous of someone that can machine quilt such as free motion quilting. I have tried, even stippling, and have trouble moving the quilt around to get it done. So... I appreciate a quilt, no matter how it is quilted.

Let me clarify, she asked if I machine or hand quilted my pieces....
Again, I definately know there is a skill in hand quilting. I truly admire anyone who can do it....I just haven't reached that level yet.
