Because I have a very disfunctional family, I usually hear two to three months later that a niece or grand niece have shown someone the pictures I have posted on my space to friends, and get inquires on how much I charge. From my daughter I hear how 2 or 3 siblings think they will have to die before I make quilts for them. [they never aske me themselves]
I sometime barter quilts for work, such as getting my hair put in locks. In such cases whomever is willing to wait as long as it takes for me to finish their quilts. I have to think that I am doing something right. [don't feel it] but other people seem to prove it.
