I have the same problem with some people in my DH's fishing club! There is a lady president of the club who has never held a needle in her hand nor owned a sewing machine. She bought a quilt kit in Alaska and had the gall to give it to my husband telling him that I could make the quilt for her. He asked me to do it for her because she works very hard for the fishing club. Thank God it was only a table runner, as I have made nothing bigger than a lap quilt. So it took me almost 2 years to start it, and I had to forgo a lot of other things to get the table runner done--it was an appliqued salmon pattern that required all of the fabric to be fussy cut, and that needed a lot of quilting, including echo quilting. My DH was so appalled at the amount time it took me to work on the quilt, that he charged the woman $200 for my time, which she paid. It taught me that I will not do anymore custom sewing or quilting for anyone because it puts too much stress on me. Life is too short for that!!
