Have you ever made a quilt for someone specific and once you had it finished you didn't want to part with it?
The last two quilts I have made I really wanted to keep but had already promised them to others. |
Seems like all the time, except if their is a paycheck coming. :-)

totally, just finished up one for my bff. totally customized for her all the way down to having her kids hand prints on it and I feel like I'm giving up my first born.
Even still, I can't wait to send her home to her rightful owner. |
Hard work, even done willingly and with love creates attachment. Just keep reminding yourself that you've given them a priceless gift--a part of yourself. If they are commissions, well, aside from payment it's great to know if you love it you have done a great job in completing your commission!

I seem to always give away things I make. I really love making things for people but sometimes I wish I would do something special that I would keep.
I am almost done with a quilt top called french Knot. I can't wait to finish and put it on my bed. |
Has just happened to me. Finally finished a couple UFO's and now don't want to send them off. After guild meeting tomorrow, I'm going to bite the bullet and ship them off :(

Absolutely. I made a quilt of valor that I loved, but I knew it was going to a good cause. So I put it in a box with no regrets.

Yuppers!

Yes, but I gave it to them anyway.
