Quilting is my fun and relaxation. You have put a business like sound to some of my thoughts on my stash. I have been mostly sewing from my stash for over a year. I do find I need blenders to put together most of my quilts as that is not what I tend to buy. I have been trying to use some of my (ugly to me) fabric that is not me ,that other people like to make donation quilts. I was given a bunch of it several years ago. I am tired of it staring at me from my stash. When I make the quilts people love them. I don't enjoys making them because I don't like the fabric. My guild is having an auction as a fundraiser and I have them all packed up to take. I will continue to make donation quilts just ones that I enjoy making. We also have an auction at our retreat and I plan on getting rid of some more of the fabric that is not me! Also some patterns.
I think most of us pretty much agree with the manifesto, just not in such business like terms.
