CHEAP???!!! Holy cow batman..... they obviously have NO idea how expensive this hobby actually is or how much (love) and time go into the making! :)

My problem is that everyone in my family wants one.....but only my grandkids and a few others actually USE them. I would be more flattered if someone showed me a well loved and worn remnant of what I made rather than a prestine (treasured, but unused) item folded neatly in a drawer or worse yet....in a box in the attic.
no they don't-but then I guess their loss is someone's gain and that someones else will love the quilts. And by quilting I mostly keep out if trouble!! Sort of-maybe
