I teach piano lessons after my full time teaching job - working 13 hour days 4 days a week - and a nine hour day on Friday. I dedicate one student's fee per month to quilting - that's $80. If I didn't have a limit I'd go absolutely crazy and the number of times I fill a cart at an online store - then sadly delete it - is higher than I can count! Yes, some months I spend more than that, but some I spend less. I have a self-imposed limit of $40 per quilt top, $15 per total table runner... so sales, sales, sales! That's for lap quilts. The few larger quilts I've made were for special gifts for special people so ... they don't count!
