  Fantastic!  You do very nice work.  I'm so impressed.
   
  Please tell me (if you don't mind) how much you would charge for a Queen size quilt.  I love hand made items and I'm not talented in that direction.

• secretlife said on Jun 14, 2007....

  it's beautiful.

  i'm telling you, you could make a FORTUNE selling these!!!

• destinydiva said on Jun 14, 2007....

  ........ really sweet compliment  :-) You must be a real special lady ....

  Y'know, unique, I have never made a queensize quilt, but I've seen them for sale, and they can be pricey.  Upwards of $300 if memory serves.  If you like, this is a website for crafters where people sell their handmade items.  It'll give you some idea of what you can expect as far as pricing goes.

  CreamyMimi - Yeeehaaa! That is SUCH GOOD NEWS :-)))))))  I am so chuffed for you and I think its a fab idea.  How about making those little quilts and selling them to new parents and the like??  I'm sure there will be lots of takers :-))
   
  I'm happy for you my friend, you deserve the very best!

  Mimi what a beautiful quilt. ;-)

• botoni said on Jun 14, 2007....

  Mimisweets! That is one darn nice quilt! The hours and hours of work that go into a quilt, not to mention the love, make them pretty much priceless in my eyes. I have seen queensize quilts go for as high as $1000.00.

• gingersoul said on Jun 14, 2007....

  Mimi......you could whip up a super neat business ...why don't you open a website and post pixs of your creation...in no time you will be rich...:-)

  this one is really, really nice.....great job!

• Zayda said on Jun 14, 2007....

  Mimi: It's a beautiful quilt. And I too think you could make a fortune making and selling your quilts. :) Like Botoni mentioned, I've seen queen-size and king-size quilts go for as high as $1000.00 or more, depending on the intricacy of the pattern, the weight of the quilt. My mother is finishing a queen size quilt for my son, and I know how much money and time, and most importantly, love she has put into it.

• sweet_cookie01 said on Jun 14, 2007....

  wow! that is so cool!.... let me know if you have posted some to sell okay... i will be bidding for it!... i love having a comfy quilt when i put the airconditioner in the coldest temperature!

• Eilan said on Jun 14, 2007....

  It's beautiful! 
  
  You could make money at this, if you wanted to.  My mother-in-law has made quite a bit of money selling quilts, though she hasn't had time to do it lately.  My husband says she's sold them for as much as $1200 and some of them are valued at more than that.

• MissMimi said on Jun 14, 2007....

  $1200??  Pardon my French, but holy shit!  I just can't even imagine anyone would be willing to pay that much for a quilt, unless it was an antique.  Seems I have some research to do.
   
  More and more I am thinking I might like to devote more time to this and get serious about doing custom work.
   
  Thank you for all the kind compliments. :)

• sweetsoul said on Jun 14, 2007....

  Mimi it's absolutely gorgeous. Going to be one lucky grandchild under that quilt and I bet every time your friend sees her grandchild with your quilt she's going to think of you. :heart:

  Destinydiva...yes our Mimi is a very special lady. Stick around and you'll see for yourself.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Jun 14, 2007....

  What a sweet thing for your friend to say! :) I love that quilt, btw. Very pretty! You could definitely make money off of those.
  
  I'm quite fond of quilts - my great-aunt used to make them, and when she chose to "retire" from quilting, she made one last quilt and gave it to me. :) I treasure it highly - quilts are masterpieces and are made with lots of love and effort!

• botoni said on Jun 14, 2007....

  Missmimi....Something I forgot to suggest but you probably already know. Sign your quilts, either with your name or with a trademark of some sort. It adds to their future value.

• sweetsoul said on Jun 14, 2007....

  infernal you're so right. Within the last few years of my Mom's life she took up quilting...in part I'm sure, to leave a tangible part of her here on earth. She made the first one for me - machine pieced and hand quilted. She then made one for each of my sons and then two more for me. I have one on my bed right now. It's such a treasure to have a hand made quilt made by someone close to you.

  Botoni you're also right. Mimi remember to sign your quilts.

  Sneaking another peek at the pic. It's just lovely hon.

• rupert7 said on Jun 15, 2007....

  When I saw your quilt just now I thought that with work like that you could have a nice little income.Then I read this post and saw that many were suggesting it ahead of me.
  A hobby you enjoy that makes a bit of cash,what could be better!
  

• quietone said on Jun 15, 2007....

• silverwhisper said on Jun 15, 2007....
