I have asked my family favorite colors and different other questions. I never tell them what I'm going to do. A couple people have asked if I "took orders" and how much do I charge. I charge nothing because I don't take orders. My neighbor was going to give her former DIL a beautiful quilt. She critiqued it right there in front of her. I was standing right there. Neighbor took it back and exDIL never saw it again. She does beautiful work! Like I said exDIL. I just don't want to be obligated.
