I only make things I like, and I do it because it is what I like to do. No one could ever pay me the amount of money that the pleasure of creating gives me - - priceless.
I would do what I do even if no one liked it ... I do it because I like doing it, and I would create without electricity, if I had to!
It is just the way I am wired ... so, when/if someone doesn't like a quilt as much as I might, I can't really get all upset about it - - most of them don't know what it takes to produce the product!
If someone didn't seem to appreciate my gift to them, then I probably wouldn't be gifting something like that to them again. Fact is, I made it for them because that is what I wanted to do, and once I have given it to them, their response is irrelevant ... it has to be that way, or else it would seem that I was trying to "buy" them by my actions ... and, I wouldn't want them to have to bear that burden. <wave>
