The price you charge really depends on the market in your area. Years ago when I sold crafts at craft fairs, I was told to charge 3 times what it cost, as you never get much for your time. I started out doing doing craft fairs with my sister, some days I would sell a lot and other days very little. I just did a craft fair in Nov. and although I had lots of placemats and table runners, they did not sell well, I only sold a few. However, I did bring 11 Bow Tucks bags with me and only brought 4 home, and I also got 4 more orders after the fair, which was very nice to have some "mad money" to spend. I love to quilt and if I can make some money fine, but I'd still be quilting, even if I'm only giving them away as gifts. Just hang in there and do what you love.
