Members of my family is always telling me that I should try to sell quilts and earn money off my quilting. Never mind that it takes me forever to sew a quilt and that they are not perfectly made!
So I just sent this great article around to them so they could understand better. My favorite comment was "when a quiltmaker makes a quilt more valuable than the market could possibly bear, the quilt is usually destined to be a labor of love rather than paid labor"
