Will he let you have creative liscense? And how much will he sell them for?

jasming

yes ma'am. I sure would. But before I began I would hammer out the details.

The first word I noticed you used was "HOBBY". Do you want to turn your "hobby" into a business?

I have always lived with the advice of my grandmother, " If it sounds to good to be true, it isn't true."

BEWARE and maybe do a few quilts, (few being up to 3) as a trial. Do not make any long term committments. Make sure it is your business and he is a silent partner. :thumbdown:

I'm taking teh 'low' road on this one. I see your predicament needing money and needing the work.
On the other hand, I doubt he has any idea how much time, work, and money went into the quilt you made.
I agree, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
Also, I like the numbers crunch someone did.
Highly unlikely anyone will pay those prices unless they have money to burn.
And once the quilt is made, he has the finished product, and if it does not sell, where and how will it be stored until sold?
Too open-ended a deal.
I would run the opposite direction. You don't loose your shirt (so to speak) and you can still enjoy your hobby and make the quilts you want.

I would give it a try. If he's buying the materials that allow you to do the work, you won't be out anything but your time if it doesn't work. You spend that time anyway making quilts-we all do. If you don't take a chance, you won't have the possibility of success. Make a couple and see what happens. You can renegotiate later if you need after all, he can't do it without you.

Definitely.

Absolutely! He buys the materials, you make.... which is the fun part, he sells, you split 50/50 go for it. What a deal.

That was going to be my exact comment. Make up a contract. And find a witness. Several years ago people told me I should make custom wedding gowns. It was a fine idea, but ended up being just that, an idea, because no one wanted to pay more than a couple hundred dollars for a "gown made in someone's home". Most people have absolutely NO idea what goes into making a quilt and the time it takes. We are never properly compensated for what we do, unless you consider the compliments and gratitude compensation. That is fine but it doesn't buy fabric. Good Luck with what ever you decide.

Does he know how long it takes for you to make a quilt. Have a business contract in writing and have it notarized.
