"Only fabrics purchased at a "real" quilt shop qualifies as worthy of fabrics"
"Only "Heirloom" quilts should be considered as worthy of consideration as truly a quilt" ....
this one drives my crazy... look up what "Heirloom" actually means. It is not the one that has all those "perfect"stitches, or the one with the most expensive fabrics, or the one the the quilter spent years working on, or the one that is "so special" that it is hid in the closet.... it is the one that has memories of events, or passed down to generations, the one the child carried around for "protection" from the thunder and lightening or the "boogieman", the one wrapped the sick or dying parent or child, the one that you cried into when you lost your first love... or found them, the one you touch to remember who made it and why....yes, there are many quilts that qualify as "Heirloom" that will never be in a museum....because they are far too important to put on display.
They earned the badge of a true Heirloom.
