Remember that blue and green mariner's compass the my FIL asked me to make for him? He just gave me a cheque for 300 bucks for it!!
It's not that much money considering the number of hours I put into it, a measley 5 bucks an hour, but aside from the cost of materials, that's 300 dollars I did not have 2 hours ago!
I would have to make and sell a heck of a lot of quilts to be able to pull myself out of this debt, but every little bit helps!

Isn't it a great feeling when you sell that first quilt!!! I remember when I sold my first quilt. I was living in Nova Scotia. I had my quilts on consignment through a shop in Lunenburg. My first quilt sold to a French family from France!!!! It was a beautiful blue and white star quilt!
Another quilt I remember selling was here in St. John's at a local shop. It was an American couple who were sailing around the world on their small yacht. They were docking here in St. John's for a few days. She bought this rust/green/beige quilt I made and said it was for her husband's birthday. It would be sailing around the world in the yacht with them!!! How cool was that!!! Ooh to have been a piece of fabric on that quilt!!!
Congratulations girl!!!!!!!!
