I agree with the previous post.
Big "Bargain" stores have downgraded the art of quilting by selling low quality quilts made in third world countries where the "quilter" receives relatively nothing for the work.
I have found the same is true with US handmade baskets out of quality wood.
Additionally, folks these days have forgotten the concept of charity auctions. It's not the same as an estate auction. I.E. A charity auction is to raise money for those in need.
I now look for lower cost items to donate. It's a sad state of affairs.
