I don't let anyone tell me what I can or can not buy.....maybe if I found one at Walmart that I love at first sight, I'll buy it and love it too.
Oh believe me - I had it in my hand - then put it down, picked it back up again - then decided for as much time as I spend sewing and the fact that I actually have a true sewing room, I thought I don't need it and it would be hard for me not to pass it off as my own!!
I know people need and want things that look like what we can make - I just feel a little slighted that we as quilters can put so much time, effort and love into something that the next guy could pick up at the store without much effort. Not to mention what it would actually cost of making a quilt like that.
Same thing as someone who bakes probably looking at the cookies at the store. I just never had something like this to feel that way about. :)
