Who wants to explain to Cherny the difference between quilting and knitting? Anyone? Anyone?

Quilting is what old ladies do in groups.

Knitting is what old ladies do by themselves once they've been abandoned by family into poorly run nursing home.

Crocheting is what old ladies do when they realize that no extra roll of toilet paper should ever be left without the protection of a doll outfitted in an antebellum dress including large hoop skirt.

Macrame is what quilters, knitters, and crocheters make fun of.

Or so I've learned from my family experience.

My grandmother's toilet paper protection doll wore a lovely crochet of white and pink.

My great-grandmother's were generally red. She made them throughout the year (among other crocheted treats) and then toured the Christmas craft shows. How I hated the Christmas craft shows. Though the crocheted pot holders were actually pretty useful and durable.
