It is about homely, cosy and pretty. I really cannot see one of Nancy's quilts being a picnic rug for the kids.<br /><br />This is about ladies who are doing their craft and also making a little bit of cash by doing their blogs, teaching, selling patterns, fabrics and all that, while being busy mums and staying at home (and I am not saying that all of them are doing that, but a lot are). Some are very young and some more middle age with teens around, but I haven't come across much older ladies yet, so maybe there is a bit of the age thing...<br /><br />I for one love the not so precious attittude and generosity of this new lot and this is not to say that more serious quilters are precious and/or mean, but by being serious quilters they want a different end to their work. I don't think we would see animosity amongst the modern quilter's lot and the way Sew Mama took the comments that Sandi made show that.<br /><br />Sandi Walton had a point and I loved that she was able to express it and I loved even more the way her comments were taken on board and something good came out of it.<br /><br />My bottom line is: does it really matter? Do we all have to become artists and strive for more? Can some of us enjoy this wonderful craft just as a craft and aspire to have an end product that is just what it is: a quilt to snuggle under?<br /><br />Thank you for the debate. It will be very interesting to see how the Modern Quilt movement develops.<br /><br />AnaAnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-53430807147235198722011-09-03T13:08:04.413-04:002011-09-03T13:08:04.413-04:00Just after voting for #3..
