Why they don't understand
#23
Back when our town had a quild we did retreats and invited the public to come and see us at work. Well, I was working on a $485.00 Thimbleberry Quilt kit the Christmas Village(Bought it from a friend who was starting up a quilt shop and on line store) One lady really liked the quilt and asked me if I sell my quilts. I said yes....she offered me $200. for the one I was working on. After I stopped laughing I told her the price of the fabric. She nearly fainted and I still have the quilt top. hmmm...need to quilt that one.

(program about how many things Americans buy that were made by "slave labor"!)
Ambassador at Large, senior advisor to the Secretary of State and director of the State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, Luis CdeBaca, and the president of Slavery Footprint, Justin Dillon, talk about forced labor and measuring a person's slavery "footprint."
These things still exist in this world today!

How sad. Mass produced in China know doubt. There is a YouTube site showing them sewing them one right after the other in sweat shops.
Tell her when the cheap one falls apart to come and see you for the real deal.
