I have pieced mostly traditional quilts, but I'm working on a "modern" one right now. Most of the quilts I have quilted for my customers are traditional, but I did this beauty for one of my customers. Personally, I just love quilts! I love the time, energy and love that goes into every fabric/pattern choice, cut and stitch. I have seen some quilts that I would really not want in my home (I'll admit it, I've made some of them and they DO live here!!), but I can still appreciate the time and effort put into the creation of the quilt. Donation quilts...I just happen to believe that if I am donating a quilt to some cause, it deserves my very best effort...I will guarantee you that it will NOT be perfect! I am not the best piecer in the world, nor am I the best quilter, but I do all right with piecing and I think I quilt much better than I piece. So go check out Sam's blog - it really got me thinking!!

There are too many things that are dividing people lately, which don't need to, and I would like quilting NOT to be one. I have done traditional and modern, pieced and appliqued, hand and machine, longarm and walking foot. I don't want to be classified as any ONE thing. =)
I will admit that I was put off when I first heard about modern quilting -- the nerve of such people to mess with tradition! But I find now that I am drawn to so-called modern quilts and realize that it's all just quilting.
