I do so feel your pain. I wanted to make a friend of mine a nice evening bag, as a gift, for Christmas, with a paper pieced insert on the front. She is always saying she needs an evening bag. I asked her what size, shape, etc. Her answer floored me, "Will you make it have pockets on the inside, a matching checkbook holder, credit card slots, and will you make it out of a nice piece of leather? Will you put a long chain handle, and a magnetic clasp? Can you have it done by New Years? I want to use it that night." Al, I could say was "I do not sew leather on my quilting machine, it is not made for it". The next question was even crazier. "Can't you just sew it and not tell the company that you used it for leather?" Aaaaarg! I showed her a piece of black quilting fabric I had, and told her that was what I was willing to make it with. She actually said "nevermind, I will just buy what I want"! I will NOT be making her an evening bag. Sheeeesh!
