i'm glad you said that. that's exactly what i was referring to when i said that they had been "discovered" by the artsy-fartsy crowd. promoters can sell anything. people DO buy the brooklyn bridge. and there is a flat earth society. believe me, the earth is not flat no matter what some people think.
i have no doubt that the gee's benders are great people. why not? they have nice homes, plenty to eat and notoriety. the quilts that they now make bear no resemblance to the quilts their mothers made. i'm glad they make a living. i bear them no grudge. they made warm quilts with what they had. they were masters of frugality. the original gee's benders just didn't make beautiful quilts. to say that they did demeans all of us who DO make beautiful quilts.
