I'm just getting into... I'll add my 2 cents. I'm just getting into this quilting stuff and (being brutally honest here) Out of the thousands of quilt blogs I haven't seen much in the way of true original imagination. I've spent the last couple days working on a Hoffman Challenge of my own design and cruising the quilting blogosphere. This era of 'modern' quilting doesn't appeal to me at all. I have no idea what category or era of quilter I fall into. A lot of work goes into making a quilt so I don't begrudge anybody of the effort they put into the quilt, but if I didn't know how much work goes into a quilt I'd label the 'modern' quilt era we're in now as lazy and unimaginative. Ok off the soapbox...Looooong day.Joanne Grimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329649751915525712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885390864320471349.post-21491554139125822332013-05-14T06:22:09.876+02:002013-05-14T06:22:09.876+02:00Welcome! to Doll Monthly, I joined in January and ...Welcome! to Doll Monthly, I joined in January and Love it!!....so much fun to meet other quilters and do a quilt for them and receive one back!!

Aye and the point of comments is to comment on somethign in the post - sometimes with the "That's nice"-comments I have the feelign people never really took the time to actually read the post. <br /><br />O yeah - Welcome to the Doll Quilters!Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456092236170418634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885390864320471349.post-34966777893848065562013-05-10T09:23:20.891+02:002013-05-10T09:23:20.891+02:00Thank you, Leo for putting so much thought into th...Thank you, Leo for putting so much thought into the question!! :-) It excites me when I see others really thinking and most importantly sharing their ideas/thoughts.

wel...Da hast du aber in ein Wespennest gestochen - <br />well maybe not directly related but - my music Prof just "ranted" for most of Monday's lecture about not to use terms like "classic" or "baroque" when talking about music - there is no such thing. Those terms "Schubladen" are always made up to give the general audience something to hold on to when they enter a complex world. <br />Well I guess you could say the same about quilting - yes sure it makes it easier to call modern quilts modern (maybe minimalistic would be a better term? or background quilts? as they seem to put so much emphasis on the negative space) anyway they make it easy when you present the quilts in a show to someone new, who has no idea abotu the matter.<br /><br />Well I always say I do what I like - I guess some would fall under what's called modern, some use traditional patterns with today'S fabric other use traditional fabric with todays patterns ... well you see no chance to classify it really. <br /><br />One quilt should always be looked at as an itemn in connection with the other items of the maker and in connection with other quilts made at the same time and with quilts made in the same way in other times. <br /><br />I better stop now - I could go on and on and on about the uselessness of making "schubladen" .. <br /><br />Hätt ich eigentlich auf Deutsch schreiben sollen? Ich übersetzt das jetzt aber trotzdem nicht.<br /><br />Grüße an Schwaben aus dem Pfälzer Exil.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456092236170418634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885390864320471349.post-44482618382402525852013-05-08T18:58:54.946+02:002013-05-08T18:58:54.946+02:00Also ich meine jeder sollte das machen was ihm gut...Also ich meine jeder sollte das machen was ihm gut gefällt, wie sich das dann nennt ist nebensächlich.<br />LG<br />KATRIN W.Cattinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573600241695108396noreply@blogger.com
