And usually only to people who understand we aren't slave laborers here in the U.S.
I understand that. We have had many threads about how non-quilters don't understand the value of what we do.
BUT this comment was from a fellow quilter. :-( :-( :-(
Actually, I've only made one quilt and a lap size, so I don't think I really qualify as a 'fellow quilter'. Please disregard my opinion on the price of $10-$15.00 and listen to the real quilters. I'll just keep my mouth shut in the future.
You are a "fellow quilter" and I do appreciate your opinion. I was not offended in the least.
You've reminded me that everyone has their own personal threshold of what they are willing to pay for different things. I know that, for me, I am willing to pay a princely sum for some things, and there are other things I will only purchase if I perceive it to be very affordable or a real bargain.
I asked for honest opinions, and I welcome everyone's. Please don't hesitate to be heard, everyone's opinion matters. :wink: :wink: :wink:
