I was going to try to start a business and even put an ad in the local paper. No replies, by the way. But now, I am thinking twice. I don't want sewing/quilting to be something I have to do. I want to happily sit down and make things for my family.
So, I have decided to just get a gift card for the wedding and finishing the quilt for family--whenever I feel like it. Now, that I have made that discovery and got this off my chest, I am hoping my mojo returns.
It's pretty bad when mydaughter said she had a dream that I started sewing again. lol
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting.
I totally agree with you - I do not want my quilting to be a business because it will then become "work" and I want it to be fun and relaxing. I have had people over the years tell me I should do my quilting to sell and I occasionally do sell but I never make a quilt with the intention to sell it - that happens after I have several finished and piled up then think - maybe I will try to sell this one - keeps the stress out of the equation and the fun in it.,

Go with the flo VIvian - its best to go along at your own steam and enjoy its as you go too. So much more enjoyable. Its important to smell the Roses
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on demands when it comes to quilting...I can go good as long as no one is expecting it or it isn't for something special...but let me have a deadline, and even if it is self imposed deadline...it is worse than pulling teeth to get something finished.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad someone figured it out... HA!! When I have a deadline, like quilting a quilt my daughter pieced, it paralyzes me!!! I can find soooo many other things to do and then it is almost depressing, because I know she wants her quilt and I want to do my projects... do we need a quilt therapist??????
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and yours!!!!
Vivian,
ReplyDeleteThose little 9-patches are adorable.
It's great to hear from you. I hope the storms/tornadoes hadn't affected your area much.
