Yes, these stories are comical and interesting. I don't really have people asking me to make them quilts. I did however have an acquaintance who had been very rude to me a few days before try to "hint" that she would love it if I made her a cross stitch lobster to frame (she had seen some flip-flops that I had done for others in our small summer community). Not only 'No' ... 'He!! No!'
