I rest my case.
Yep. Your time is worthless, and even more, the supplies and tools cost! "Oh, you made it? Make me one." Like we can just sit and lay an egg and BOOM, there's a quilt. I have done the craft shows with other items in the past, and I get a lot of compliments, but they far outweigh the sales, and compliments don't pay the rent. I make quilts to order for sale, but I don't have any desire to create and establish inventory.
