I'm not like 95% of the quilters I'm around but I'd hardly characterize them this way - "perhaps they think it's really nifty and original to buy dog fabric for your quilt backing."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-17865520227187821222011-04-24T17:21:36.607-04:002011-04-24T17:21:36.607-04:00Hi Anonymous -- I can live with the fact that my t...Hi Anonymous -- I can live with the fact that my tastes and interests are apparently different from those of the majority of people who attend these large shows. One of the ways I live with it is to notice and comment on the differences.kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-49090641406558435812011-04-24T08:31:01.962-04:002011-04-24T08:31:01.962-04:00Speaking as one of the white gloved ladies who wor...Speaking as one of the white gloved ladies who worked this show, I have to say I cringed when I read your post. I'm a member of a local guild and an art-quilter but I'm in the minority. I have learned that what interests me does not interest many of my fellow guild members and I can live with that.

I did a navaho rug pattern on the front. Cream, brick and charcoal. She had many friends in both the Hopi and Navaho tribes in Arizona. At the last moment while trying to decide what to back it with, I found a kokopelli print. <br /><br />When I gave it to her, she glanced by the label I had sewn into the back and said, "Oh I LOVE this fabric!!! And promptly folded it so only the back showed. To this day my husband needles me about this. Sure could have saved some time on that quilt.
