Actually some of those well-known stores (Lands End in particular) got the same quilter-signed petition that Karey Bresenham took to Congress, and they were pressured enough to start selling USA made quilts for MUCH higher prices than the imports. But, after a few years I noticed they stopped carrying US quilts, probably because the buying public couldn't grasp the value, skill, materials cost, etc. of quilts we make here.
How many, many people I've advised about these imported quilts...in the past I've been bold about walking right up to someone in a store and pointing out the "made in" tag and giving my spiel. Not so interested in being on that soap box any more, I guess. Caveat emptor.
