If I have time left she wants me to make a 8ft table runner for the main table.
I think you have a very good friend. She knows to supply the fabric and pay you for your work. Great. I think the price she offered is also a win-win for both of you. Not pricing herself out of you doing it and not insulting you by a low offer. I hope the pattern she wants is not too complicated. Perhaps you could also post that?
Enjoy, after all, you would have been making "something" anyway....why not get paid for "working" for the next few months. And I think she has given you plenty of time!! Is she paying to have it quilted too or is that part of the deal? Have fun with it. Ellen
