I find it stressful to quilt for pay. I have a friend that purchased some of the fabrics and has offered to pay me to make the quilt. I have worked on this quilt for more than a year! It is so stressful to me each time I pick it up, wondering if she likes what I'm doing, meeting and not meeting the deadline, using colors I don't like, a pattern for which I'm unfamiliar. I won't do this again.
If the quilt is already made and someone wants to purchase, sure.
And I definitely could NOT longarm for a living, that would be way too stressful for me.
