This thread has been so funny. I agree with all of you. People who don't buy fabric just have no idea of the value of quilt, much less the work and time spent making one.
When people are bold enough to ask me to make one for them, I just say, I'll put you on the list after I get all my family's done....it will probably be 5 to 10 years. They stare in disbelief and just say, Oh, Okay. I never hear from them again. I have offered to teach them how to piece and they can use my Nolting Longarm to finish it. No one ever has taken me up on that either. They know it's work and they know it takes a long time. It's okay for me to enjoy sewing and take my time for them, but they want it with no effort. Not going to happen. Oh well.
Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
