I agree, you spend a lot of time marketing yourself too! The best is word of mouth, you, your quality, guilds that will try you out, then there's all the organizations that want you to quilt for free. That is a very good way to advertise though. I try and do my best on all I do even the freebies! I especially do after I overheard one lady who was binding a Q.O.V. quilt I did for a guild; "Not bad for a guy, if he does this nice of a job on a donation quilt, just imagine what he does on the pay ones! Made me feel pretty good! She's now a dedicated customer too. Oh well, just thought I'd stick my nose in here, it is a wonderful profession and I love it!-----Dave B.
