I agree about quilt show entries. It doesn't matter if your border is wavy, or some seams don't match. I deliberately enter a few quilts in our shows that would make the quilt police faint but I do it to show others if that quilt can be shown then what they have can't possibly any worse. LOL

I have long had the feeling that quilting notions/tools are overpriced. I believe they know that we quilters will pay the price. It is great that we have the talent to find other options. After all quilting came from using scraps/used clothing in the day and not to throw away anything (like we do today).

I appreciated the comments about quilt entries in Colorado shows. I went to one last week at the Events Center in Loveland. Very disappointing-nothing like past years. Even the venders area was full of booths that had nothing to do with quilting and sewing. Some were very 'pushy'. I won't pay $10 to go again.

Ouch, sorry for what happened to you!
I bought one of those things you attach to the ruler from a quilt shop but I hate it. It's so big that it hides what I need to see. Sorry I bought it. |
I purchase my fabrics and notions where I can get the best quality for the prices I can afford. I save coupons and I buy only what I need for my current project. It's a matter of practicalities. I recently visited a LQS here in the city closest to where I live. There was nothing in the store priced at less than $12.99 a yard, that was the "lowest price" in the entire store. For anyone who can afford that and that's what they want, great! But it's beyond what I can afford.
