It's my hobby, as well. I do it for my pleasure and I get a blessing when I give a quilt away.
I agree. Most peoople have no concept of the time and work
that goes into a quilt. I hand quilt, so that,of course, adds to
the hours. I don't want to insult people, so I just say I don't
sell quilts. What I'm thinking is "you won't pay me $l,000.00
for one, and even at that I would be working for a dollar
or two an hour" I don't actually know anybody that does
work for that amount...except "Mothers" of course, ha.
And we have to remember it takes even time to pick out
the fabrics, drive to get them, and of course pay the big
dollars for the fabric, batting, etc.
