I just don't do commission work. If I were in the business they would pay business prices. If they give you a discount for any of their services then you could reciprocate but business is business.

So I made it this weekend, I actually finish binding it on the way to church this morning.(my husband was to be preaching there this morning). She loved it! so what is the problem???

She wanted two (2) the same, natually.. She said make another just like this..well I had used my stash to make that one and I have about 1/4 yard of each fabric. I had used Moda Marbles, RJR, Free Spriit and other quality fabrics that I had purchased about 7 -10 years ago when they were $7-9 but now I have to try to find quality fabrics at prices I can afford to make two the same...

So now I have ONE twin that I will have to try and sell or maybe just donate..

I should have listened and taken a written, signed order.
