But I do believe many modern quilters do honour the history of quilting and I think there is an incredible amount of fabulous information online. We can find poor technique in any type of quilting or sewing....modern or traditional. Our technique or skills usually improve the more we do. The online communtity has added lots of excitement to the quilting world...I'm all for that.<br /> MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-78565917132583783972013-03-05T09:42:01.163-07:002013-03-05T09:42:01.163-07:00Thank you for sharing Yoshiko!

I must not understand modern quilting because your quilt would have definitely been one of my favourites. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy the wonderful women you met at the conference.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-11347397819138510732013-03-05T07:39:08.906-07:002013-03-05T07:39:08.906-07:00{'m sorry but I just have to say this.

They don't seem to honor the history of quilting or take advantage of all the expiereced quilters. Online learing is ok. Online learing poor techniques from novice quilters is not. I think your work is incredible.Frances Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113219893460905228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-46258756642470692592013-03-04T13:40:07.393-07:002013-03-04T13:40:07.393-07:00It was wonderful.It was wonderful.MariQuiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024634370648175612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-6307914203231318482013-03-04T09:50:34.854-07:002013-03-04T09:50:34.854-07:00It's so nice to know others were so inclusive,...It's so nice to know others were so inclusive, especially given the somewhat exclusive attitude that that I sometimes am hearing about regarding guilds etc. Love the picture of you and Jacquie . . . someone said you look like long lost sisters and I agree.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-67505175333800938032013-03-04T08:13:11.904-07:002013-03-04T08:13:11.904-07:00I would love to know more about the class you took...I would love to know more about the class you took with Yoshiko Jinzenji.

The Swedish quilters in common are not in for the modern style, but I love it and will try to influence more Swedish quilters. I must try to work more with FMQ on negative spaces. It looks so fun and the abstact quilts look so awesome. <br />Thanks for sharing your pictures <br />Britt-Inger in Sweden<br />Britt-Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303078604168909484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-91629373915982614462013-03-03T21:13:10.537-07:002013-03-03T21:13:10.537-07:00We sure had fun!
