A Joyful Quilting Life

I didn’t start quilting to open a shop. But when I did open my shop, I thought I lost my joyful quilting life.

When I opened my shop 12 years ago, I got wrapped up in how long it took to make a quilt, the stats, and how much I wasn’t making per hour. I even convinced myself I hated quilting!

My negative thinking had run amuck!

That thinking ultimately caused me to shut my shop down in 2018. But closing the shop only made me sad. I quilt because I enjoy it. But what I love more is the joy it brings to other people.

So, I opened my shop again! Joy!!!

Unfortunately, I was in danger of going down that road again. Focusing on stats and time. And getting very frustrated.

At the time, I was creating a small custom piece and started calculating my time. I was earning way less than minimum wage…not encouraging.

The Note

But then I received a note from my customer.
She was thrilled and grateful for the little quilt.

That quilt brought joy to me while I was creating it, to my customer, and to the person she gave it to.

That’s priceless. You can’t put a price tag on it. And that makes for a joyful quilting life
