I have a friend who ask me to quilt two of her quilt tops that she said she would pay me to do. I said I would do one to start and then maybe the other. After completing the first quilt, that she said she loved, she did not ask how much or offer to pay me anything. Needless to say I will not be quilting the second. It is my own fault. At the time of request, I should have discussed a price. I think it is difficult when a friend/family requests quilting services. I do not quilt for others on a regular basis. I always feel like I should do it but, know it will end up being a gift. I have learned my lesson. In the future if asked I will either decline or discuss what I will charge to do it.
