Exactly! I have tried to sew for money several times in my life, and almost immediately burned out. I did not like having to sew or quilt for others, as that set a monetary value to what I was doing, and as we all know, unless you are already famous, you're not going to make the money your skills are worth, which in turn really discouraged me! So it turned my love into drudgery. But I CAN sew for myself ( and those I give it to) for hours and hours and hours!
