No, she did not lose her job, she is very well secure with money, but she "tried" to get my price way down. I already took $25 off for her.
Anyways, my mailman loves John Deere. I stopped him today, and he bought my quilt for more than the other lady would have! YAY! He paid CASH too!
So, I got lucky this time! From now on, I get a non-refundable deposit and a signed contract.
Whew! Thank-you all for your understanding and words of advice in my previous post. You all are just awesome!

that the way it goes sometimes
people just don't how much time & work goes in making & quilting a quilt .
if they did they wouldn't want to pay less
i have had people ask me to quilt for them & when i told them my price ,that WAS THE LAST I HEARD FROM THEM
but thats ok.
it gives me more time for something else
