Leah Day at The Free Motion Quilting Project brought up a great discussion topic in a post called Money and the Joy of Quilting. She first asks her readers why they quilt – is the motivation extrinsic or intrinsic? Then she goes right in to what’s bothering her. If you make money from your passion, does it kill the joy of creating? Can Leah get her quilting groove back or must she continue to suffer quilter’s block? She has a plan I think will work. Visit her Post: Money and the Joy of Quilting to find out what it is.
