Already paid half of that but now wants the other large amount.
So I will work on my own projects and never do a custom quilt. Life keeps trying to trip me up but I don't stay down for long. Well, today was not a good day but tomorrow will be better.

Be careful paying until the work is finished. I got into that mess once with a contractor who was also a personal friend (I thought). I paid the entire price, then he came back & wanted more because it was taking longer than he thought. I politely showed him the contract, said I had signed in good faith & wouldn't have signed at all if he had quoted the amount he wanted now. He walked off the job, leaving me with my whole house (inside) wrecked. I took pictures, then had to call someone else to finish the job. I had to sue to get my money back from him, but meanwhile I was in a real financial bind for a while.
