I was horrified to read a post at Sharon B's Blog dated March 3rd AND Linn's Blog dated March 6th.
About taking vintage samplers - removing the fibers - adding color. There are links from these blogs with pictures/articles & multiple comments. I'm so irritated. Really feel a rant coming .... Who in their right mind would remove stitches from a vintage needlework project? I just cannot wrap my mind around it.

I know exactly what you mean. It could only be a man who would be so insensitive to such work...my apologies to the SNAGS out there! But this is one guy who I would like to take revenge on...perhaps scratch his new car from top to bottom, or pour acid over his CD/DVD collection...
I have always ground my teeth at the suggestion that "art" is more original and therefore "better" than craft. Exactly how much creativity did it take this gentleman to come up with 4 blocks of color and slap them over the top of some hard working craftsperson's sampler? How can you diminish the creativity and care that each of us takes with our work and say that in and of itself is not art?
