This has been a good thread. I also enjoy giving to ppl that I know will appreciate the love, hours, and cost involved in making a quilt...or any handmade gift!!!
Two examples I have of "no clue"....
1) My boss asked me how much I would charge to make one that she could raffle off for PR for us. I told her she couldn't afford what I would charge....consequently, she wouldn't be making any $$$ from raffling it either!!
2) The secretary at our church heard about a tentative "fun day" several quilters in our congregation had planned before C'mas. She called and asked if we would make a quilt for each of two very elderly members that can no longer attend church...for C'mas gifts!! 2 quilts in one day? With so much going on coming up to C'mas, we ended up with only 2 quilters. Needless to say, we turned her down!!!
