I'm needing a hug

I think this quilt is amazing! He's stuck in the 1940's, and I'll bet that for him NOTHING is as good as it used to be! (And I'll bet that includes him!) I'm not as tactful as you--I'd probably have just told him to shut up and take his stool softener, then maybe he'd feel better!

Love, love love your beautiful quilt! The ladies during the Depression would have used conveniences if they had had them. My mom (a child during the Depression) has an odd take herself. Everything has to be hand pieced, but machine quilting is fine. And the quilts can not be bigger than full size. I pointed out that her aunts had and used a sewing machine but she is firm in her belief. Don't worry about anyone else. Enjoy your own masterpiece!

I thing you need a big hug, but maybe so did that old man. I wonder if his wife made quilts by hand and she is no longer here. I look back at the quilts of the past and the love and talent that these women put into these quilts. Not saying that you have not put in the same love and talent, YOUR quilt is beautiful and I can see the work you put into it. I just think that we need to also remember the quilts of the past, for without them we would not know the quilts of our present and future.

Hugs!!!! I really don't appreciate people making light of the quilting of today. Had the women of yesteryear had he equipment available today, do you think they would have quilted and sewn so much by hand?? I don't think so. Keep up the good work, your quilt is beautiful!

You should have replied. Really well back in your day didnt they say " if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. I thought you would have better manners" that would have shut him up
