I hear what you are saying. I've got 6 tops that need backing and quilting, 3 that the blocks are made and need to be assembled, 2 more that need to be laid out, and for some reason I've become obsessed with trying to decide what to do with a bunch of 2 1/2" scraps! Go figure.

That's what I did...he claims he wanted to learn so we could be in the same room together more, but he made lots of quilts for gifts and charities. He has sort of lost interest now, but that's OK....I get my room back for myself. Sometimes 2 quilters in 1 room is just 1 too many!! LOL

I would do the quilts all myself to keep DH out of my quilting room. I don't want him to be my shadow every day all day. I don't mind if DH promises me to give something without asking first. He knows I won't blink an eye at buying the item ready made and say here it is all done. Bakeries, delis, and restaurants make very good pies, cakes, salads, potato salad, and entrees as much as you need. I can order a quilt ready made from Etsy if I don't want to make it for a deadline. One I bought and donated for an auction (I did not claim I made it) cost less then the fabric and time I would have put in it.

Jeanine,
you LAQ is cutting her prices to move those quilts out of her studio, but she's undervaluing her work. It irritates me to see the value of our quilts cut to less than the cost to make them.
