I don't think as far as dollars per hour you would be making a really good wage though. <BR/><BR/>I can see why you would want to take another trip on the sailing ship. It sounded like the most amazing holiday ever. I am thinking I would love to go myself. Maybe when my husband retires it could be our treat. I just loved reading about your trip. Thanks so much! And Happy 40th Anniversary!!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741073501328591544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-41525433720984669542007-08-07T18:36:00.000-04:002007-08-07T18:36:00.000-04:00i agree with the others posts, Nancy.

But remember that when you use $9.00 per yard fabric, that $50-$75 amount seems to dwindle. Of course, stash is stash, but still...when we make our charity quilts, we use the fabrics that were on sale or the best bargains, or our cut scraps. I don't like the feeling of parting with one that I've spent fussy time with, but, heck, an irish chain or a turning 20 is just fine.Quiltgrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442794943252912695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-53320927113136349092007-08-07T11:09:00.000-04:002007-08-07T11:09:00.000-04:00It's worth a try.

Every year I make more crafts than I have things to do with. I just love the process. At Christmas time I take pictures, put them on a free photo site and send a link to my coworkers with prices. It's a great way to make money from things I have already had the pleasure of making and really have nothing to do with.tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869702375009787359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-74808236775095886252007-08-06T22:21:00.000-04:002007-08-06T22:21:00.000-04:00I would do the test balloon as long as there's no ...I would do the test balloon as long as there's no commitment. Any time I've done quilting that doesn't come from "hey, this looks fun!' I have not enjoyed the process at all. Deadline sewing for gifts is preferable to doing request sewing in my book.<BR/><BR/>Do the "test quilt" and see how it feels. If it works for your creative process, then set sail! :)DPUTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972128797520034784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-17716993073948545342007-08-06T21:43:00.000-04:002007-08-06T21:43:00.000-04:00I had a business making photo memory quilts.

But I never have done so, perhaps someday. I keep so busy now that I don't find time to do both. I've been curious as to whether or not it would be profitable. I'm guessing it depends on finding the market you would be looking for.CONNIE Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524592276175272170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-51408624292870895902007-08-06T20:56:00.000-04:002007-08-06T20:56:00.000-04:00Why the heck not?

But that's just me. I wasn't putting $$ away for anything as special as you have in mind, either. Try it... keep track of your expenses and see if it's worth it to you. You are one of the most prolific quilters I know!Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.com
