Not so subtle hint - what would you do?

Maybe this has already been suggested, but maybe she'd like to work on it with you. If I had time, I'd love to have someone come and sew with me once a week or something. Maybe you can tie it instead of quilting it. She would have a new appreciation for the work involved

One of the ladies at work mentioned that her friend was retiring and would I consider making her a Scotty Dog quilt to gift her at her retirement party (in less than two weeks) - I decided to be brave and say No. I ended up making her a pillow with an appliqued Scotty on the front - her friend loved it and I didn't have to do a rush job on a quilt!
Non-quilters just don't have any idea at all of the time and effort involved in making a quilt - I guess we make it look too easy????

She said she wanted a bag ... by all means make her a bag (providing you want to make her something at all and not just because she was dropping hints).
I agree, I like it when someone who is accustomed to getting a regular gift from me (birthday, Christmas) hints at what they want - makes it so much easier. I do not however pay any heed to folks that see one of my quilts and say "oh, I'd love one of those", or "can you make me one?". Umm ... no.

I would be thrilled to get a bag. As for quilting a king on the DSM, I do all my quilts on mine. I have a Singer Confidence Quilter and have quilted two kings and a queen since I got it. I use hobbs 80/20 bat.
