It still blows my mind away when someone does something like this to you. If this person had spent the time and work you did doing a quilt she would not expect you to "give her a break" and she sure would make sure she had her money ready when you had the finished product. You did your job and had a thing of beauty and her loss is your mail man's gain. If your mail man is like mine, I care dearly for him. Mine is so nice and I even gift him for his birthday and his family for Christmas. So your quilt went to someone who will remember you every day he sees you. What a win-win for you. (Can you see the smile on this mail man's face every time he passes your home?) Good for you.
