How rude! People never cease to amaze me. It's like when young children tell their parents that they should just use a credit card so they can get all the Christmas presents they want for free. Perhaps you should have suggested that instead of $100 cash, you'd also accept $200 in Visa or MasterCard.
And here I was thinking that it was bad when people say silly things like "I thought you
like quilting. Why would you charge so much to do something you enjoy?" ... well, I also enjoy having a roof over my head, food on the table and a working furnace in the wintertime. For some reason, I've yet to be able to convince my landlord, grocer or power company to accept payment in "love" ... or in your case, quilt shop receipts. Glad to hear that at least she left you alone after that.
