Although no one will accuse me of counting off 12 stitches in an inch, I try to make my work as if it was going to be used and machine washed and dried, (irrespective of any surface design techniques of course)and like to think my pieces are built to take it but is that what he means?Deb Lacativahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037530669295128974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-9798517487639163422009-08-05T18:26:22.572-07:002009-08-05T18:26:22.572-07:00Fascinating!

What I found funny was that his reality of the quilt artist's gallery experience wasn't anywhere near what my idea of the quilt artist's gallery experience is. He was there to express his gallery's point of view but I felt that it had a very high end skew to it. Also I found it amusing that he was talking to a room of 200+ quilters but only represented 12 quilters at his "fiber" gallery.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.com
