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!
I personally will never doubt the value of a handmade quilt, but I can completely see how that could happen. Hopefully you and all the other talented quiltmakers out there will be able to stay in touch with people like myself who see quilts as an heirloom to be cherished for a lifetime.
