Commissioned quilt..what a deal!
I work in a hospital surgery area, today one of our surgeons brought his own nurse to operate with him. Some how the subject of quilts was brought up. Everyone there knows I quilt so they got her on the phone with me. She was wanting two t shirt quilts made for her sons and asked if I knew about that type of quilt, I told her I had made a few and she got all excited and wanted to hire me right then. Whoa..slow down..do you know how expensive they are I asked. Well she saw a ad in a quilt store paper for a class at $60.00, so she figured 100.00 would be a fair price, what did I think of that...when I told her my last t shirt quilt went to a( friend )who paid 400.00 for it she was a tad surprised. Hated to tell her her 100.00 would barely cover backing, batting, stabelizers, sashing and I wouldn't do it for free. Guess I will go back to the ones I am working on for me! Sorry this is long but just had to share another view of a non quilter.
