I sure enjoy looking at your miniture quilts. I know this has to be difficult and you are so precise. I hope this guild does not dismiss and discredit any minitures. Esp. if they put on a quilt show.
Perhaps you could give them a good education on the process and with many reputable references. This is your guild too. Best wishes.

Art is art!
It might be a little bitty piece of art, but no one has the right to tell you what size you have to make in order to qualify as a quilter.
Some people are just so rude, but that is only because their moms didn't teach them to appreciate differences in abilities, tastes, desires - - individuals, in other words.
It seems the older we get sometimes, the more fearful we become of people who don't do things the way we do - - silly humans! Life is more important than that.
Congratulations on all your beautiful little quilts <wave>

They are not bed quilts, but they ARE quilts. Wow, wonder where these people got their information. They need to look up the definition of a quilt. And our "QUILT" show would sure be lacking in quilts to show if we said "wall quilts" were not eligible to be shown.

That's why I don't belong to a guild. Who gives them the right to define what is or isn't a quilt strictly by it's size?
I think your miniatures are beautiful and much more difficult to do than a bed size quilt. I can't imagine working with all of those little pieces.

Sorry you were subjected to such rudeness. I would tell them they should take the time to read the definition of "QUILT" in a dictionary: Quilt: A coverlet or blanket made of two layers of fabric with a layer of cotton, wool, feathers, or down in between, all stitched firmly together, usually in a decorative crisscross design.
No size was mentioned anywhere!!!!They obviously have never been to International Quilt Festival in Houston either-where I have seen many minature quilts on display. BTW, yours are stunningly beautiful QUILTS!!!
