They have no idea about quilting

So true. I heard someone ask why it was necessary to kill animals when they can get meat at the grocery store!

Some people. lol. I've seen a post on a news story where they were talking about the challenges of fall harvest for farmers and someone said why do we need farmers when we can just go to the store. Seriously, I hope it was someone trying to be funny but she kept defending her position. My husband is a full time farmer so I know the work that goes into it as well as the lack of appreciation from the general public.

I’ve had ( late timing) quilt request s for Christmas a few times- I discuss the project, determine if I realistically have the time and quote the price- last one was a throw size, not too complicated, had 3 weeks to get it done- I quoted $450, when I got it done 4 days early I was paid $600 for it- don’t just Assume people won’t pay fairly, or don’t know what it takes- assumptions often turn out wrong.

On the other side of this coin are quilters themselves, who have started discussions on forums, about “help, I have a baby quilt to make and the shower is six days away... I just found out..”
My thought is that if you find yourself in that predicament, go buy some baby supplies, don’t make a quilt in a hurry, and stop sending the message that quilters can always pull off magic.
