Same thing at our local Joann store. I gave them my business cards to pass out. People expect too much for too little. I finally told them to stop giving my name out.

Thanks for a great laugh!

We were putting in a new floor and the craftsman saw my quilts and commented positively. Later I asked about putting in a backsplash. We did a little "bartering" and I got my backsplash for a quilt. My husband thinks he got the better deal, but my backsplash is beautiful and well done. Sometimes bartering works, but in your case, I agree with your response.

I totally agree, and would even add in sewing clothing altogether!

Ha,You are all funny ! Needed a good laugh today! Thanks.

Mending, hemming, alterations, quilting.....sewing is sewing and the former makes money for the last.....LOL! I'll even repurpose clothing if you want it......if you love to sew it shouldn't matter what it is.....

Maureen that was a good laugh. My sister-in-law was always bringing me items to fix that her niece had pulled the seams out of or something she told someone else I could fix as I used to make our girls their dresses when they were little. With the nieces clothes I did have fun with that one. I double stitched them and gave them back. I told her that her niece was buying clothes to tight and she got upset and said that wasn't so and they don't sew them right at the factory. I've seen the clothes on her and they are skin tight. Then I got a new machine and I made a point of saying that I couldn't use it for any other purpose that for quilting and that was the end of that. They don't bother me anymore. I do mending for our kids but it is so rare.

Ha Ha. Funny!!!
