I couldn't agree more! Just cause we enjoy making them, doesn't mean we want the business of selling them. Some of mine finds homes elsewhere, others will remain here at home. At this point, I have more tops than actual finished quilts, & that is alot of the reason. One time, I hung tops, mostly small ones, all around my studio. Then DH comes in, & says, when are you going to finish these & SELL them? Sell them, I am thinking, no way, not my thing, & these are like my babies, to me anyway. So, shortly thereafter, I folded several & tucked them away. Out of site, out of mind, right! It worked on DH, for now anyway, he has quit asking, lol. But quite honestly, this I do for me, & my own sanity & enjoyment. I don't want to take quilt orders from other people, or quote prices on how much a quilter's work is worth. Now, if someone came along & offered me a price I couldn't refuse, for one I made, & enjoyed making, all on my own, then they might be lucky enough to take one of mine home, but I'm not holding my breath, & I don't even care... I just love fabric & love to quilt, so that's enough for me...
