You are not alone. For years I made quilted items for our church fair and while some look forward to seeing what I have made and then puchase them, others look at them, ask if I will lower the price, and I refuse. A church fair or charity auction is just that a way to make money for that organization. When I have made the raffle quilts, however, one of my quilts raised nearly $2,000, and others at least $1,000. I'm not sure why but when people come to a church fair they have the notion that the materials are all donated anyway, so why should we pay more? Don't get discouraged, you know you are doing a good thing by all your efforts, pat yourself on the back and ignore negative comments as much as you can. Good luck and continue to make those items when your heart tells you to make them. God bless.
