That being said I am now anxiously awaiting covers for my FW that I purchased on ebay. And they look spectacular, I must say. Even tho I know I could duplicate the covers myself. I find I want to support my fellow crafters, quilters, jewelry makers, etc. I have evolved!!!

I so agree with you. I so hate it when someone says on seeing another persons work '' Oh I just wouldn't have the patience to do that'' I think then , would you have the skill ? It is so much nicer to just admire, or even say ' wow, I'd love to know how you did that' .I have noticed though that most quilters don't do that. love x
