I made a quilt last year for a lady that has a beauty shop near me. It was a queen size with University of Kentucky logo fabric). She asked how much I would charge and I told her $125.00. She was okay with that. It took me weeks to complete the quilt, sent it to my long arm quilter and when she delivered the finished quilt she told me I could have gotten $1,500.00 for the quilt. Whoa! I was shocked! When I delivered the quilt I told the lady that "her" price was $125.00 but that I was advised the quilt could have sold for $1,500.00. She didn't seem to care that I had underpriced the making of this quilt. There were several ladies in her shop at the time and they oohed and ahhhed over the quilt but quieted down when I revealed what the quilt should have sold for. Why do people that our time isn't worth anything? They expect to be paid at their job, so why shouldn't we? May not be a job but it is still our time and money involved.
