She started talking about everything but quilts and picked some more material for aprons. I was not interested and began to get irritated. I did pick a few pieces of material and she kept talking about only selling the material for a certain amount a yard if I made aprons for her. I told her what the going price was for during that. She did not like it so I said well how much a yard. I planned on buying half that day and coming back for the other. After the third time of picking out more material for her friends, I left. I called her and told her to go ahead and sell it to someone else. I had wanted to pay for the material and take it to my friends at church to do quilts for Relay For Life, but after being told what to do with material I got offended. What would you have done? All of this took over an hour and my DH sat in the car waiting on me.

I have had this happen with Craigslist. They will post pics and say they want to sell but never return a call or email or if they do they're not sure they're ready to have anyone look. Very strange. One lady wants to sell a room full of fabric all to one person. Doesn't want anyone picking through it. It's all different kinds of stuff and only a few I would want. I say whatever! I would have left long before you did probably.

You have more patience than me. I think I would of left after 5 minutes. I watch American Pickers on TV. It's amazing how hard it is for some people to let go of things that are just sitting there and will never be used.

oops, sorry, an little sarcastic today. It's early and I have 3 more bridesmaids dresses to finish TODAY so I can get them to the bride tomorrow. ( The design for the dresses changed once and the flower girls changed 3 times. Veil changed 2 times...i stopped it there, my sewing machine, my time, my decision.). Wedding is Saturday and I would like to have a day or two to get stuff done for ME.
coffee and a smile!
