I didn't watch the QVC sale, but I know the bags are very expensive.
You also see them often, which makes "home made" purses, totes or wallets even more desirable in my opinion.
I've also seen that some people go "crazy" for Vera Bradley bags, just because it's a Vera Bradley. Blessings to her and her bags.
Most of the time we (ourselves) do not put a good value on our creations, for whatever reason. So if I don't value myself for what I've created, how can I expect for someone else to see it.
I try not to compare my work with someone else's, there is always someone better. But this doesn't mean, that your work isn't outstanding or not beautiful.
With this in mind, I quilt and create and love to see the joy of the people who appreciate their gift.
