A call to play nicer – Mod v Trad revisited

Kristen from Sew, Mama, Sew! extends an olive branch (or should I say quilting needle) to Sandi Walton of Piecemeal Quilts. Sandi is the author of the now infamous blog post where she used the “D” word in reference to modern quilters. It was in response to one of Kristen’s guest bloggers. Visit my opinion post HERE if you want the back story. In response to this debate, Kristin on her blog espouses the following guiding principles for all quilters both modern and traditional:

1: Sewing should be fun!
2: Learning requires a certain level of discomfort.
3: Sometimes people deserve a do-over.

Her approach here is humorous, honest and diplomatic. Go to her POST to read more.
