I've made a quilt for a church organization they will raffle off and use as a fundraiser. I was asked if they could use the wording "handmade quilt" on the flyers. In my opinion, it is a handmade quilt, even though I quilted it on my regular home sewing machine and not by hand. I figure it was my hands that cut out all those pieces and sewed them together, and my hands that guided it through the sewing machine to do the free motion quilting. What do you think? How do you differentiate between hand made and machine quilted hand made?

tough one -

different folks have different ideas of what "home made" is -

for some - it's "special"

for others - it's not so good - like scraping the bottom of the barrel

"One of a Kind Quilt Specially Made by _______ for _________" would work for me!

I think you are right, you made it, your own handywork, your quilt! Not some factory made, 1 of 100 just like it!

I really like the way Bearisgray worded it. (except you don't know who it's going to so you could just put your name as the maker)
I don't care how you quilted it- you MADE it with your hands~! :D:D

You made it...its HAND MADE even if it is sewn on a machine.

Just tell them how you made it and let them pick the wording.

I think, it is fine. As long as they don't say it is hand quilted.

A friend and I collaborated on a fundraising quilt a few years ago. I did the machine piecing, she did the hand quilting. For the flyer that's exactly what we said...'machine pieced by xxx; hand quilted by xxx'. My opinion, it's hand made regardless of it being machine pieced/quilted or hand quilted/pieced.

It was HAND MADE by your hands was it not? Hand made is different than hand quilted IMHO

I like Home Made.
