Non-quilters Have No Ideal about Time..Sheeeeeeeesh.
#21
My daughter wanted a quilt made for a nurse that orientated her at the hospital.She called me on a Wednesday and needed the quilt on Sunday.She didn't even know what colors the nurse would like. So being a good mom I bought everything and made a quilt Rose ,Greens And pinks I finally finished the quilt Sunday morning at 10:55 am (stayed up till 2:30 to meander it) My daughter came at 11:00 to pick it up. I was so stiff from quilting. Well the nurse loved it And she asked How I knew her color scheme. I will never do it again. They think you can whip them up in a day. How nice am I

Debbie, good decision on your part. I vote for emerald46's solution:

I have a friend who is a long arm qulter. She and her friend do t shirt quilts and she says she tells them up fron that the cost will be $350. That way a lot of people back off & that is okay because they aren't her favorite thing to do.

I agree with every reply. I had to retire 13 years ago to care for my husband who was greavely injured, and folks seem to think just because I no longer work outside my home I have 24 hours a day to be at their disposal. Quilting is my therapy, but you know what? I don't get to go to therapy every day! Glad for you to vent, and don't ever feel guilty for using that little two letter word"NO".

I have found the solution for when people want me to do something in a short period of time. I do home dec. I price it to the sky. In fact I have someone that left a message yesterday wanting me to make a window seat cushion. I think it is going to be very expensive. I am getting real tired of trying to please strangers and listening to their demands, so I think I may stop doing these things. I would rather be quilting now. Just make the price so ridiculously high they will look elsewhere.
