WOW! Did this subject hit a nerve with all of us or what :?: :hunf: When I give a quilt for a special fundraiser, I do it annonomously for just this reason :thumbup: For those who know that I quilt and ask, I am very blunt about the cost and how much I would charge for my work. I learned my lesson a few years ago. I made a quilt and was showing it to a friend. She fell in love with it and asked how much I would charge for it. Being cought off guard, I told her to name the price. (BIG MISTAKE :!: :!: ) To say the least, I went in the hole with that one. Now, I quilt what I want when I want. Yes, I have quilts that I want to do for family and special events, but I no longer make promises. This is MY hobby for MY enjoyment :!: :!: I can be very generous, but only with those that I want to be.
