I sold a couple purses (6) and a baby quilt this last fall. I figured out what I made an hour and it surely made me sick.
I never set out to sell them, friends just kept buying them when I got them made. It put me behind on my christmas gifts a little, but, that is ok. Friends are more important, right?
To be fair, we didnt' discuss price before I made the quilt. He's family and I knew he wouldn't try to stiff me, and I left it up to him to give me what he thought was a fair price. He knows the value of something hand crafted, so I wasn't worried, but I wasn't expecting to get my time's worth in money. Good job FIL :)
