It is difficult for me to respond kindly and for that, I apologize. NO ####### WAY! This is a person who is clueless and so whether you decide to take it as an affront, is entirely up to you. I would not accept it her offer or would gloss over her question without answering her question. It could be that she is taking advantage of your gift.

1again, I apologize for my less than positive comment.

Even $200 couldn't possibly be considered greedy. Keep it or gift it to a friend, family member, or favorite charity (and, if the latter, take the $200+ tax deduction ;->). BTW, lovely quilt.

NO WAY!! Looks like a keeper to me. Fabrics are so pretty.

No!! I said that way before I read the other comments. Your time is worth more than $20.00 alone. Heed to the others comments. How rude to even state such a cheap amount.

20 bucks? What an insult! My mouth dropped open when I read that. Maybe she is thinking of as a yard sale find? I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt as to why she would even consider offering such a pathetic amount.

Hopefully it's just ignorance. About 5 years ago my dad gave my mom $5 to spend in a fabric store. He still thinks prices are what they were back in the 70's.

Lol, Peckish! God bless his heart, he's in a utopian world of his own. That $5 doesn't even buy her the gas to get there and back. (What would he think/do/say if she gave him $5 to spend on his hobby, I wonder?)

Peckish, that's hilarious! Dad obviously hasn't been to any store in awhile.

Dad was notoriously cheap.

When my mom started going through menopause, he would get upset because she'd leave the bed and go sleep on the couch with an open window. He said her hot flashes were all in her head. Then he was diagnosed with cancer and the chemo gave him hot flashes. Lo and behold, a window unit air conditioner appeared in the bedroom. :mad: What a jerk. I was mad for her, but she was just thankful for the AC.

He really sounds like a pistol. God bless your mom for keeping him, lol.

I am notorious for "gifting" quilts. This past Christmas I made a very large lap (full bed size) quilt for my sister who is the beneficiary of a lot of my projects. She understands the cost of quilts, time, etc., However my favorite LQS had a sale with the same quilt design but different application. I had added yo-yos and buttons to it. When she opened the gift I just happened to mention the incident letting her know that her's was more detailed and the owner liked my choice of fabrics and stuff better than hers with the cost she was asking. This made her more appreciative and delighted with her gift. Sis also thinks she needs to keep me busy sewing so I won't get bored. I will say she does gift me with fabric, magazines and stuff. Just saying it doesn't hurt to keep people informed.

I also had a "friend" that asked me to make a quilt for her daughter and offered to pay me $150. That did not begin to cover the cost of the quilt. It was an appliquéd queen size quilt. I grudgingly made the quilt knowing I could not accept the money from her. My heart was in the wrong place as I worked on this quilt. I was a snowbird in AZ and she lived in another state. I completed the quilt and mailed it to her. She passed away within a week of receiving the quilt. Boy did I feel bad. There are a lot of good suggestions on this board as to how to handle the situation but the ultimate decision is yours to make.
