Recently I did a double size quilt for a family member. I put a lot of effort into that quilt. She gave me $75.00. I was so hurt, I have decided to just charge a standard rate, of which is just what I did when she asked me to make her a purse. A few weeks later a dear friend asked me to do a double size quilt for her. I worked day and night on that quilt and was very satisfied with my work. I was still so disappointed with what had happened before, but , being a close friend I told her to pay me for the materials and if she wanted to pay me for the work whatever she thought it was worth to her it would be ok. I received a check a week later for $600. I was so tickled I sent her and her grand daughter a tote to boot. From now on I will set a price before I do any work for anyone.
