I would say $50-75 and et at least 50% up front. This is a really nice personalized wallhanging. Did you design this or is it from a pattern? Really beautiful work!!

So I haven't given her an answer yet... please help.

I second Dawn Marie. Figure out your hourly charge and then add cost of materials. It is a beautiful piece and she is getting it directly from you-no middle man mark up.

I work out the price by adding up cost of all the fabrics and double it. I don't make much if anything out of it but at least I am not out of pocket. |
Get a deposit that is enough to cover the cost, then 3 X the cost plus a bit for your time. We are worth at least minimum wage are we not?

$10 an hour plus materials - including batting, thread, fabric, new rotary cutter blade, and machine needle.

Very pretty! I will follow this line because i too have difficulty knowing what to charge when someone wants me to make them something.
|
how about making the birds either blue jays or cedar waxwings. Could change the block colors to match.
