Now I think we are way under appreciated in the world economy! The government should be seeking us out for recognition in doing our part to stimulate our economy! I knew this was a "stimulating" hobby! Wait, not hobby--lifestyle!

I just wish that HGTV and DIY would get the message and research putting something on tv besides house shopping.

Wow. I can and do spend that much on each trip to the LQS. When you think about it, $172 per year is not much considering the prices we now pay. Plus we have to have thread, needles, etc to do our passion with. If Wal Mart doesn't want our money, perhaps Target or KMart should look into it. $$$$$$ for them. When HGTV took Simply Quilts off the air, I e-mailed them and nicely, but heavily complained about it. Not a word back from them. I don't watch HGTV anymore. Somehow we need to roar louder.
