Gadgets, gadgets, and more gadgets. I have too many now and can't find the one I want when needed. I think the quilting business has become just that. It's getting to be all about money, and all the things that look interesting are priced too high to start with. All this could discourage a new potential quilter to shy away from it. This is something that should be relaxing and enjoyable as well as providing covers for our beds. I find the basics are mostly used and leaves more money for fabrics and threads. I love the finished product but when I look at it and see $200 or more invested, I don't want to use it. I won't have many of those either. I love to make them for my children and grandchild and they use them and wash them more than I would. I prefer to be more economical. Just my opinion. Blessings to those that can afford all the expensive things. I feel blessed to have what I have.
