Re: Selling. I have sold crafts and sewn items in the past. I hardly made a profit back then and with the price of fabric and anything else to do with quilting being as expensive as it is -- I don't think I will be doing it anymore. What things I do make to sell is for a senior center that sells crafts to make money for the upkeep of the center. At least this way, I know I am not going to make a profit and that it is an act of love.

The part I used to really hate is when people would come and look at my items for sale, and they would turn to their friend and say (right in front of me) "Oh, I can make that and it would be so much cheaper." I always wanted to say, "I can hear you."
