How many, many people I've advised about these imported quilts...in the past I've been bold about walking right up to someone in a store and pointing out the "made in" tag and giving my spiel. Not so interested in being on that soap box any more, I guess. Caveat emptor.

oh yeah.....imagine quilting for a living! I really don't believe anyone other than quilter knows what goes into making a quilt....and when I hear "oh I can buy something like that at (insert the store: WalMart, Target, Penneys) for soooo much cheaper", I see red. Uh huh.

why is it people think nothing of spending $1000+ on an appliance (fridge) that will last 20 years maybe, but balk at spending the same amount or less on a masterpiece that will be passed down for generations.
Oh that's right, it's only a bedspread.
