I think it's time to get new bumper stickers printed up:
I (heart) Hand Made
Let's keep showing off our totes and wearables - use them when we go shopping so the world can see our unique items. Bring those quilts to the beach, the Founder's Day Parade, the Fourth of July celebration, a football game, anywhere we can show them off.
And if it bothers you to give something that might not be appreciated, put a card in that reads "This item may be re-gifted to someone who can't live without it - even to a charity". And then forget about it, because your creation is out in the world now.
A revolution can begin with small actions...
