The cost of quilts

I don't necessarily agree with all she is saying but the article is a good one and explains a lot.

Thanks for posting. This is a pretty good article. Will have to check some of the links later. I don't do an Etsy 'shop'.
Just do 1-2 craft show per year to thin out what I have made besides the blanket drive at Christmas.

What a great article by several of my favorite designers! (Seriously check out Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness, best bag making patterns EVER!)
Recently a good friend asked me to make her some burp cloths and bibs for a baby shower she was attending. I agreed and when she said "how much?" I struggled and said "eh, $20 bucks should do it. She was like, "well I hope I am getting the friends and family discount!" Because she knows that covered supplies only. I just hate pricing my work!

I absolutely love quilting, but I consider some of the commercialization of it flim flam. I made a conscious decision to recycle whatever I can whenever I can while I enjoy quilting. I may be an exception to the general "quilter," but my position has been carefully thought out. I do not chase the latest lines of expensive cottons. Instead, I spend my creative juices trying to decide how to best re-use what might otherwise go to waste. The article paints quilters with a broad brush as big-spending hobbyists, but doesn't consider the thousands of women out there hooked on the joy of craftsmanship and creativity. Price and worth are not the same in my estimation.
