I totally understand her situation. I currently have 3 quilts on the dining table that all need the finishing touches to the binding. I mean how close do I have to get to the finish and yet I am not doing it...? I do love the quilts/throws and maybe I know that when they are completed, they will all be leaving my house... for good...

But GrandmaCindy, you always have pictures around of those you love don't you? Take their pics before they go. You will want to see them, again and again. :D

I know what we all have - it's Spring-fever!

if i didn't have a little clutter in my sewing room so one else has been in there an moved stufff around an i don't know where somethings at.an i have enough squares cut that i could make 10 quilts an another 8 or nine of different types cut out that i just need to go in an close thehalf door behind me an sew for six months an i might have them at least sewn together :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I get in those moods too, and need something to inspire me which happened yesterday. The local gift shop called me and asked it I could make some table toppers/runners for Easter. She had customers asking if she had any to sell. So yesterday I started sewing my little fingers off. LOL Made three tops and will quilt them today Hence, more money for fabric. Marge

i went through this - got busy then lost some interest in quilting - not much, mind you, but some. i became inspired when i needed - yes NEEDED - to make quilt for a little girl. now i am on a roll again. love it!

How do you decide what price to put on them?

I decide on the price as to what I think people will pay. And I always get the cost of my materials back plus a little more. It is really just a hobby for me because I like making many things. So once it is made and sold I can purchase more fabric. These days with the economy what it is quilts are not selling. Mostly tablerunners, tabletoppers etc hiliday themed. Right now I am doing Easter theme on the front and 4th of JUly on the back so people can use them more than one time during the year.

Thanks for the tips. Those bi-holiday things sound smart.

thank you quiltncrazy, you are so right, half the time I am so eager to give the gift that I forget to take the picture. Have a Blessed Sunday..
