Showing a quilt is for "Quilt Shows". At club meeting we have show and TELL. I think of these meetings as a learning experience. If others tell me what gave them trouble in the quilt, what went wrong, what fun they had doing it, and what was a real pain, I learn. And when I show them my quilt, I tell them all about it, so that they can learn from my mistakes (If they don't pay attention, they can go ahead and learn from their own mistakes LOL).
And the quilting, knitting, painting, etc. process is not a job for most. It's fun! It's a hobby! Some make money on it, but most of us just have a lot of fun and get a lot of pleasure out of giving our creations to loved ones. That's reward enough for me.
