I agree...
Has she ever mentioned paying you for your fabric stash that she used?
I would suggest having her find a long arm quilter to do it for her. (She might just learn something from a "stranger")
I had a neighbor who always came to me for little hemming jobs. She always offered to pay for it but I generally refused since it was a small job. When I started feeling like I was the "go to seamstress" I decided that with the next request I would direct her to a cleaners I use whose wife was a sewing instructor in Korea and now did repairs and alterations in her shop. It wasn't long before I had that opportunity and have not regretted a moment of it since.
