She said that she had a hard time even selling them for enough money to pay for her fabric - and that was at 50% off retail. Nobody was willing to pay what a hand made quilt was really worth.
This is so true. I did sell quilts over 10 years ago before I became disable. Don't try to make a profit off the fabric or thread. Keep records of what you actually spent. Keep track of your time and that is what you should sell it for. These are STILL hard time economy. I am trying to use my stash up for gifts and charity quilts. It is very hard to get paid a fair wage for your work. It is just a fact of life. Sorry !!
