Oh, I'm sorry to hear that - your work is jaw-dropping beautiful!
Maybe you could use this idea, though? One of our LQS is offering a class in "Utility Quilting," hand quilting with large stitches in very simple designs - might even be called primitive?
Maybe make up a small quilted piece with large stitches and put a sign on it that says, "Fast and easy - utility quilting gets your quilts done!"
In a short class, you could cover thread and needle types, thimbles, a couple of simple designs and how to transfer them to the quilt, knotting, traveling, other basics, then the actual stitch and the motions your hands need to learn how to make. :)
When people find out how relaxing hand work is, they might look for more challenging pieces. :)
If you were to have samples of your beautiful wholecloth quilts on hand, and some samples of intermediate difficulty and beginner difficulty, too, maybe people can see that there's a huge range of quilting techniques and even the simplest ones have their place.
And the idea of getting a quilt DONE in a few weeks while you're watching tv in the evenings is pretty enticing. :)
