the only thing that makes anything worth a lot is that very few can do it and most cannot. that goes for artists, quilters, singers, concert pianists, tap dancers, whatever. some things take little time and/or practice (i.e. a pop singer with a born-natural voice and perfect pitch) and other things take many hours to make and years of learning, like quilting. it's all relative. don't forget supply and demand. the demand must be greater than the supply.
now, since i supplied that info, where's my $61,000?
