A segment on a television news show this morning revealed that most Americans will no longer be “tied to their desktops” to use computers. With all of the hand held technology that is ever improving, the average, computer-saavy, American will be able to compute, anywhere, anytime.

This revelation made me think of the computer industry and how sewing and quilting and embroidery have been revolutionized by machines that have built-in computer chips. Have you struggled with free-hand quilting by machine? Now, there is a solution: the stitch regulator produced by Bernina.

We may be able to make a quilt faster than before. However, is there really the same amount of satisfaction as having created a quilt, all by hand? That is a rhetorical question and the answer to it will depend partially on anyone’s reason for making a quilt, in the first place, and also, its intended use.

This brings me back to my original subject heading: “Are Handmade Quilts Becoming Dinosaurs?” My guess is that they are, and also that hand skills in quilting are practiced by a minority of quilters today. As always, you are welcome to comment.

Have a great day!

Patricia
