I laughed at this because I so agree!! I know I am a master quilter; I don't need a $7000-$8000 machine or a $20,000 Gammill to prove it to myself or anyone else. (Thanks goodness, 'cause that's not likely to happen in my world now! :? )
But I also got to thinking......you know, without those wonderful ladies who can and do spend the huge bucks on this craft/art/hobby/career, think how limited we'd all be in our tool choices, and fabric selections, and beautiful pictures we see of quilts at the big shows. God love 'em, they absolutely serve a purpose that benefits all of us. As we've said before, there's room for all of us in this wonderful, colorful, huggable world.
