Martha Flood, I too wish you great success with your business. After looking at your fabric it was obvious from the beginning that you are an artist more than a fabric designer.

I wish everyone great success in their creative endeavors! I hope you find lots of fabulous fabrics to work with! Most of all, please don't undervalue your work!

Peace, Love, & Happy Quilting,

Sixty bucks a yard for what you're producing is actually a good price. I've seen upholstery fabrics for $100 a yard and up. I have a whole box of sample fabrics with the price tags still attached and most of it is $60 and up.

I think you hit the nail on the head! Women tend to undervalue their work. And when somebody undervalues their work and sells things really cheap it undercuts everybody.

Look at the big box stores selling "complete bed in a bag" for less than the cost of the fabric to make just the quilt. That undercuts everybody that makes good quality quilts.
