If I was going to make a quilt to sell I would think of the time involved differently than if I was to make the quilt for family, friend or charity. But I think think that the key is how you value your time and what you choose to do with the time. Each of us has 24 hour in a day. Do we use it wisely or do we literally devalue it to the point of inactivity or waste. The answer is not the same for everyone. I am a producer and I think my day is well spent if my home is clean and neat, the laundry washed and ironed and attractive meals prepared and I have time to quilt, sew other things, knit, read, etc. I limit my time on the computer by the clock and TV without doing something productive at the same time is a waste of time. That said, I of course, "waste" some time because I get tired-never bored. I no longer want to sell my time for a price; but, I do want to use it as wisely as possible. My quilts may not bring thousands of dollars but I love producing them-that is without price.
