I only do things for friends, or friends of friends, and it is usually for a family memeber who passed away. I have 2 quilts that I will be getting Saturday morning that the piecing is started but grandma passed away before she could finish them. One is a Sun Bonnet Sue, and the other one has something to do with butterflies (havent seen them yet). I will charge her for fabric if I need to buy anything (always keep the receipts) and we will discuss how much money for my time. I don't expect much because people won't pay much. I also just quilted one on my long arm and the lady gave me a cute quilt hanging shelf.

I do it to help people get quilts finished, or to save a memory. I'm not in it for the money so much as to help out and also finish quilts that were started.

It would be nice to get $100 in addition to supply costs, but I really don't care. Since gas is so high i cant buy much fabric now and it allows me to still do new projects. :)
