People are used to buying quilts for $29 or $39 that are made with slave labor. I used to buy them myself and must admit they are not bad so I understand why people dont appreciate what we spend so much time and money on. The only thing bad about them is the quilting, its not as nice as a professional quilter would do.
I make my own now as I am hooked on quilting as a hobby. I gave up sewing clothes yrs ago because it was cheaper to buy them.
I have been making lap quilts for the last 4 years since they are not for sale in stores. Bed size I send out as its just to much to handle on a regular sewing machine.
I give away most of my laps and they get used alot since they fit nicely on the back of a couch. Not as expensive to make either. Its nice to see Chistmas quilts I have made come out each yr.
