Today was the last day to buy my quilts on Ebay. Unfortunately none of them sold, although there were a few people “watching” them. So I guess I will just make them for fun when I need a gift for someone. There goes my brilliant idea of an easy way to make some extra cash while staying home. Oh Well.
Waiting… April 17, 2007
I started up my ebay account yesterday. I put 4 quilts that I have made on there, people are looking at them but so far no bids. Now we jsut wait and see what happens.
Being crafty can equal $$$ right? April 14, 2007
I have been making about a quilt a day on average. I have run out of people and occasions to continue making them. But it has become an addiction so here are my thoughts (please feel free to comment and tell me I am crazy): Since I enjoy making quilts so much, in fact it is almost like therapy for me, why can’t I turn that into money? On average I spend about $15 on supplies per quilt, if I sold one for $25-$30 or more on ebay I could make at least about $15 per quilt. I know, I know, someone has to want to buy them. I have looked on Ebay and done some comparing, and I think the quilts that I have made recently are a heck of a lot better than some of the ones on there. Hubby seems to think this is the best idea ever, in fact he thinks eventually I should have a website where I could make quilts according to special requests. I think that is a stretch but I am all for trying to sell a few on Ebay and see how things go. So go to flickr and check out my latest creation. Hubby came with to the fabric store and wanted a beach/picnic blanket so check out what I came up with.
