[QUOTE She is an artist and while she does beautiful work, she is mostly known locally. However, she does ask hefty prices for her artwork. It is as if she is the artist and what I do is just for play!
She will go on and on about the time and money she puts in her artwork and that she deserves to be compensated for it. I wonder if she has any idea of the time and money ($400) I put into making her quilt! I had to pay the long armer since I don't do that. I know she has to have some idea because of her own work, but for some reason, mine doesn't count......
The sister of my heart is an artist, she does fine art, and several years ago, I made a quilt, she liked it, but could not afford to buy it, She had just made some bronze art work and I loved them, but could not Afford to buy one,
($1200.) so we traded a quilt for bronze art work. I am so lucky, to have this special person as my friend, she values what I do, as I value what she does.
