Why they don't understand
#1
here is a perfect example of why people do not understand how much money, time and love is put into a quilt.

WHen asked why they are expensive I simply tell them there are much cheaper ones at Wal-Mart that might suit them better. I refuse to justify why I would charge you more for something that takes 7-10 yards of fabric @ $10 plus work, batting, etc. I just quilted a queen top and the thread alone cost me $16

yep... and why is that? How can it be that a man's shirt at walmart, already made, can actually be purchased for minimum $10, I couldn't buy the fabric for that much less, fabric and time to make it, and lordy lordy, the cost of fabric for a queen size quilt, minimum $150, and don't even think about adding the time in to make it, and they're selling it for $30... something just ain't square with the world!

I could only watch it, at work, couldn't turn the volume on.
Did they at any time mention WHERE the quilts were made??
Of course, there are a lot of people who won't pay any attention to that.

Mass produced, probably in China by ppl on what we wouldn't consider a living wage. Not comparable in any way to what we make. If that is what ppl want to spend their money on, and think they've got a 'bargain', we can't do anything about it. Make your quilts for those who WILL appreciate them. :-D
