Shouldn't she have asked "are they hand or machine pieced?" I am sure she didn't know what she was talking about because they are no were near being quilted yet.
Some people. I like to refer to myself as a piecer. I have so many tops, they just aren't quilted yet. When I do get to quilting them it will be by machine.

I am a hand quilter...a lousy one. Why? Because I had a quilt machine and I just couldn't do it. Had the Handiquilter and a Juki and I couldn't walk and look and sew all at the same time. Machine quilting takes skill and a lot more concentration.

Maybe the only clothes that are really clean are if they were washed at the river and beaten on a rock, the only bread that is real is if you made your own yeast and baked it in a brick oven or in the fireplace, the only floors that are clean are those scrubbed on your knees with a brush, etc. How ridiculous.
I wish I had the talent to quilt by hand(but I have arthritis in them and cant) ..even then I would use the sewing machine to do the piecing that you cant see. I do think hand quilting is really beautiful...BUT so is machine quilting.
I also think that machine quilting is very difficult and complex. I can barely do the most fundamental machine quilting and hope to get better at it. My goodness, why cant people appreciate each skill for what it is. I have seen such works of art on here that they almost take my breath away. Pffffffffffffffffft, dont listen to rude, thoughtless, DUMB people.

People still amaze me on how dumb and insensitive they can be. I had a woman ask me once if I danced around a fire because I am Native American. I politely told her, "Yes, I do...right in the middle of my kitchen, I have a fire pit there and everything."
