Marianne sums it up perfectly. You will never, whatever your craft, get paid for your work. I love to find a good home for my quilts where they will be loved and USED

I make quilts for my loved ones but I have been getting orders from other people and I sometimes don’t know how much to sell them, my husband told me I don’t make money because he thinks I don’t sell them high enough….anyway thanks for the video with your Mom, now maybe I have an idea …hmmm, I sold one twin size for $ 150.00 I will charge a little higher next time. I also will charge extra for the long-arm machine quilting, I want to keep the log arm quilters in business too Thanks again mary and I really love your sense of humour!

Thank you Thank you Thank you. My daughter and her friends keep asking me why I don’t sell my quilts. Perfect answer, I am forwarding this to her. THANKS!!

Very true. I agree 100% I just bought a long arm machine. I’ve had several “non quilters” offer to provide quilts for me to ‘practice on’, It’s really hard to not laugh out loud when that happens.

Just watched Episode 225 – I love watching these Quilty episodes I feel it is a great primer for anyone learning or relearning the art of quilting. In this particular show I fell in love with the background quilt. It appears to have been designed with Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Is there a pattern for this and what fabric collection was used. Was this made by Mary Fons? It is absolutely STUNNING!! Great information from Marianne Fons as always.

Thank you for this video. I love to quilt and have made many for gifts for family. I make t-shirts quilts for sale and I am shocked when they say “oh, that much.” I make very little on each quilt and I am 40% cheaper than what you find online. You have helped me realize that my time has a true value. Love qnntv.com

What a great discussion!!!! I am new to quilting and I have often thought about selling one day and also people ask me this question when they find out that I want to make quilts. So glad, I watched this!!
Thanks guys and keep up the great work, God Bless, LaRae

Really liked this episode. I have had people ask me the same question “how much”? I have them pick the pattern, help them buy the fabric and then hook them up with my longarm quilter. I get all the fun without the cost (it is a hobby), scraps and satisfaction of watching them smile when they get the final product.

My mother recently passed away and I have a lot of her quilt items since I don’t quilt. Would like to sell them if the price is right. Everything to from the quilt holder to quilt light to hand around your neck, and quilt material. Please contact me via email. thank you

Just imagine the cost if you hand quilted the quilt…
