This has been my experience as well. Someone asked me to recreate an old, well-loved quilt. I very carefully wrote up a proposal. I estimated about $100 for labor and $100 for fabric/supplies. She was shocked and said "Oh, I just assumed you'd just use fabrics from your stash." So, because I've already purchased it, that means she should get it for free???
