Others were selling them for a dollar. Someone asked my why I charged so much. I relpied, if I was going to give my work away, I would give to my friends and family. doodlebugmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032541710183012767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188646135690899651.post-48075420275152812592016-10-30T08:29:42.032-06:002016-10-30T08:29:42.032-06:00And a painter has far less invested in materials/s...And a painter has far less invested in materials/supplies but command $$$$ and get it!!! Yet we are left to "justify" what would be an (un)reasonable price!!! WE PIECERS/QUILTERS ARE ARTISTS!!!! Part of this mentality falls upon the quilters themselves who have, in false "modesty"/self-deprecating statements, not appropriately informed/educated those around them.

Nothing in between. That means that if you are not family, or a charity I support, a quilt would cost you thousands of dollars.

After I explain how much fabric goes into the quilt, and the cost of the fabric (per yard) and all three layers, BEFORE I start cutting or stitching or quilting, then they start to understand. When I find a quilt at a thrift store for $2.49 (last quilt I found) I grab it, so that someone will appreciate it, since the previous owner Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.com
