Not really when I add my time... I'd rather be on to the next quilt than do that,... . the gal I have doing it does a LOT of machine work for me and my mom personally and also for our valor group she gives me a ***smoking *** deal.

Well it has been a dream ;)>> maybe huh?? and another dream would be to move near my daughter in the next couple years and have a sewing room big enough to buy a machine to do this for others ;)> and myself. instead of sending them out. DREAM BIG !!

Oh that is a funny little piece I did for my son many years ago.. many... like in 1994. we owned a possum and did orphan care for years.. Chris loved his possum.. I am going to remake that one for a friend who also lost their son and he loved possums too I met her online.

I have sold quite a few quilts on eBay and no, you don't get your money back for the time and effort you put into it. But the way I look at it, I can't stop making quilts so any money I receive for them is a bonus. The people who buy them are not quilters so do not understand their true worth. Good luck.
