i'm out more because of quilting. i'm in 3 guilds, i teach classes, i exhibit my work in shows, fairs, and galleries.
before i became an artist i would work inside an office all day and then come home in the evening and cook, clean, do chores and on the weekends i would run errands.
now that quilting is my source of income i'm out in the public more and spend more time with my quilting friends.
