I keep hearing about the economy and cost of quilts. 132,000 people signed up, day one, to buy the new Iphone that will cost them between 2,300. and 3,100. per year in operating costs plus the cost of the phone itself. It is a luxury item. A quilt will keep you warm for 50+ years and be handed down for some more years and you think 400. to 600. is a high price for our handiwork, time and materials. This logic escapes me. If we don't believe in the value of our work, its no wonder people offer so little to buy it. I will not sell a bed size quilt for less than $600.00. I use the best materials and I make each as if its the last quilt I will ever make. I feel they are getting a bargain at $600.00. I sell 6-10 bed size quilts per show. If they ask for a discount, I simply inform them that I do not discount my quilts. We must value our workmanship so others will also.
