I had the same thought at the Sister's Quilt Show in Oregon this summer some of the quilt artist had works up for sale and they weren't cheap. One of those art quilts was listed for $7000.00 That's right $7000.00. I know that she's famous and all, and goes around the country teaching workshops BUT really $7000! It was something that I could go home and make myself. Obviously we under appreciate our talents.

What town was the show held? We visited ME last year and I was lucky enough to have found a few terrific LQS! I really liked their fabrics and they were so helpful. Their samples were amazing! Wish ! lived closer so that I could take classes there!!

A few years ago I did a quilt show to sell my crafts. Across from me was a coupla women that had lived in this town for most of their lives. People bought from them. Next to me were some special needs children from the high school, and people bought from them. They would glance at my table and walk on by. Hardly anything of mine sold. Sometimes it's who you know that makes sales. Six months later my friend took my stuff and set up at the coast....she sold over 1/2 of the items...for MORE money!!!! Go figure.
