Today at the Pensacola FL quilt show they had an exhibit that I thought was terrific. Named "Quilting Does Matter". Ten or so identical quilts about a yard square, Irish Chain, blue squares on white. Every one was quilted in a different manner by a different quilter. To participate in the exhibit, the quilters had to have been paid to quilt at least one quilt in the past. (That didn't make much sense to me but didn't matter either.) Just every manner of quilting you can think of - loose, random FM, tiny tight McTavish, lovely hand-stitched, long-armed of various levels, a couple of 'domestic' machines (as contrasted with 'wild' you suppose?) and one Beautifully feathered. Even one who did portraits of dog breeds that was awesome. I don't know if it was a new idea or one everybody's done but I surely did enjoy it. Ah. Yes. Quilting does matter. Wish you could have been there. Polly
