Well, the same goes for our quilting. We need to stop critiquing and denigrating our work and thinking it's not worthy, especially since it's a "hobby". Just because it's a hobby doesn't mean we shouldn't get paid. We need to get over that, too. There are lots of people who get paid darn good money for their hobbies.

I recommend this excellent post on the subject.

Ok - I suggest we all take 4 minutes and read that post. It is the best thing I have read in a long time. Thank you so much for Peckish! Hunters Design Studio is going right next to my shortcut to Leah Day and the Missouri Star Quilt Daily Deal short cut to be checked each morning!!!
