Interesting thoughts Taria - and so true.

I have never been a rusher (except for show quilts when the deadline is
approaching!); but now I am slowing right down with everything. As far
as quilts are concerned, I love the designing and the piecing. If I
ever do a show quilt again, it is not going to be entered until it is
finished! A far cry from the day that I finished sewing the binding on

see this just in needlework. My dad and bro's used to work on very
high end homes
along the OC beach. There was a variety of 'class' of people with a lot of
money. Some knew and appreciated craftsmanship but many did not. Low

result has been
a lot of labor (much illegal here in CA) and little craftsmen left. It
is a sad thing.
I wonder about all the rushing to make quilts. If you are in such a hurry
and don't enjoy the process go buy something at Penney's. My 2c worth.
