Cathy, will you make me a quilt? :)
You know I tell my grands to watch their mouth when they say this. But in this case I think it might be appropriate. LMBO!!
I have never been able to say "NO" very well, but I always qualify that they must pay me for the materials and cleaning of my machine to make them a quilt. Then I tell them I'm booked out for 2 years. When they ask how much the materials and cleaning of the machine is (they never understand that you have to pay for that) I give them a ball park of $400-$500 depending on size. That stops them. Sometimes.
Cindybee quote "But I wonder about this boy as I work on it. Where he is from and how severe his injuries. If he has family and friends who care about him. I will attach a label expressing my appreciation of his sacrifice. It just seems so insufficient. I like to think of him valuing and appreciating his gift, but even if he doesn't understand the money, the time, the effort, the most important thing to me is that I did my very good work for this unknown boy."
They
DO appreciate them, they appreciate the work, the time, and the thought. I make Wounded Warrior and Veteran quilts, we take them to the men and women and there are always tears all around that someone thinks they are worthy of the time and effort. NEVER doubt that they are very grateful!
