Baby Blanket
Most people do not realise the costs involved with quilting. I spent today making a quilt for a new baby. Only a panel, but with wadding, backing and time taken. Total costs would be $236. That was with machine binding front and back..I am pretty proud of those corners. Would be nice to be able to charge a true professionals charge per hour, but customers would baulk at paying the same wage as a tradie.

So true. Like any professional that has learnt the skills of their trade, quilters too should be paid accordingly.

Lovely quilt for a new baby. Crafters never seem to be able to get a fair price for the work they do, but as long as you enjoy it I suppose that is what really matters.
