I have only made two quilts for money, it was for a fellow breast cancer survivor that I befriended at the local support group. After both her and her husband when thru chemo therapy and were considered healthy, He asked for a divorce, apparently he hooked up with one of his chemo nurses. They had two girls that were not handling the breakup very well. She asked me to make her daughters T-shirt guilts from their school clubs and activities, to remember all the good times they had together. So I made the two t-shirt quilts and charged her for all the fabric at the price I paid, the quilting was done by a local quilt shop that she also paid for and I only charged her $80 per quilt for my time and labor. She knew that I had given her a fantastic break as she checked prices out on the web. She very appreciative, I told her US survivors need to stick together. It made me fell pretty good too!
