I like being a "cozy quilter"..i love to see all the eye candy, and appreciate all the hard, and intricate work that goes into quilting,patterns, applique..but i love scrappy,usable quilts..we use the quilts and this house, they are on the beds, on the couches, and my dogs lay on them with me..
I made an elvis quilt for a friend..and she refuses to use it or let anyone else, sit on it! lol! it is on a rocker..to show off..not exactly what i had in mind ,but to each his own.
i was asked to make another one as a job..had to turn it down..to stressful for me, to make one for money..i would be constantly fretting over it..not worth it. i would rather donate them,gift them..etc..I make cage comforters for the local animal rescure...and baby quilts for the hospital..i am perfectly happy doing that!
I try my best to make them really nice, not perfect..
i have a "perfect" quilt, and it sits in a pillow case, so it won't get dirty or dog hair on it..useless if you ask me! lol!
