This is a GREAT blog-post on how Quilters, with all the time and craftmanship put into quilts, get undercut by mass-marketers. This focuses on the retailer "Anthropologie", which I agree with the blogger, is NOT a cheap retailer as I would not shell-out $350 for a sundress.
This is a sad-state-of-affairs for the quilters, but it is true....check out the post and please leave a comment!

8-5-13: Been too long
Hola! I didn't realize it was back in May that I last updated my blog. I get lazy with photoing in the summer because we do a couple nice craft fairs, so I'm usually sewing and saving as stock. At the end of the fairs, THEN I will post to Etsy and our own web-store. I figure, "why go through the effort when it could sell without?"
But, in the meantime, I did complete and post these two new items. First, a table runner in RUBY fabrics designed by Bonnie and Clyde for Moda:
The second is a vintage feedsack fabric quilt. Great for a retro or farmhouse-chic baby nursery.....or as an accent quilt in your home:
Little Olive looks nervous because she was watching a bee and hoping it didn't get her while I was taking the picture!
I also want to update my bottle count. It is amazing that I still pick up a bag of garbage when I walk the dog!
Large Bottles: 13
Hotel bottles: 20
Samples: 6
Thread Spools: 2
Grocery Bag Garbage: 12
