Just WOW to that "thank you" card in the last post - unreal!!


Anyway, here is the ultimate ignorant general public story - many many years ago (1980's) Dh and I were at our first craft fair with bed size quilts for sale. We had signs on them, $190, $250, etc. (I told you it was a long time ago.) A guy comes up, looks at them, and picks out 3 and says he wants to buy them. We start taking them down and he is handing us a $10 bill!! He thought they were $1.90, $2.50, etc.


Oh, and one more story. I have posted about DH's tiny piece wall quilts with over 10,000 pieces each. We were at a flea market and he brought one just for a conversation starter. No price. If anyone asked, he would say, make an offer.

One lady offered $25. He said, "I should let you know, it takes over 400 hours to make one of these." She thought for a second, and said, "well, how about $30?"
