Okay, so maybe this is the wrong forum to post this, but I really needed to vent to people who might understand my frustration.

I am trying to get some new quilting clients. I had a lady contact me interested in getting two full size quilts made. One from her child's old clothes, and another full one with pictures on it. I quoted her a price of $350 for BOTH quilts including the materials to add the pictures.

She hasn't contacted me since.

I am so frustrated by people who are telling me that I'm charging too much for a quilt and not even coming back! If they had ANY idea at all how much work goes into making a quilt they would realize that those prices are so freaking reasonable it's not even funny.

Do they expect me to be like Walmart and give them a bargain price? I can't even make the quilt for less than $100 in materials!

Okay I'll stop venting now, but hopefully someone on here understands and feels my pain!
