I received a surprise today.
 
The mail lady came to the door today with a package. She looked on the wall across from the door and saw a wall hanging I had on the wall. She said that is so pretty would you sell it to me.

Seeing that I have so many I said sure and made a quick $50.

Very nice surprise, indeed!

Now that is the way to sell a quilt. I don't want to have to work with someone else's colors, pattern or time schedule. It someone wants to buy a quilt I've already made I would sell it. Just want to do what I want to do - not what I have to do.

Nice! I agree... I would love to sell stuff I make on my own time. No commission work around here.

What a great day. A package and some extra money. Are you going to buy more fabric. I would. LOL

Christine- 02-25-2013 07:25 PM

Wonderful! What a great way to make your day.

Lori S 02-25-2013 08:38 PM

Now that is how to make a quick sale! Way to go!

Painiacs 02-25-2013 10:00 PM

Oh my goodness, that is something! What an unexpected treat!

gabeway 02-26-2013 06:34 AM

Way to go. Will it go towards the stash?

kateyb 02-26-2013 06:51 AM

Doing a commission is not for me either. If someone wants to buy something I have already made that is great.

Great start to the day!!!

mamagrande 02-26-2013 12:44 PM

What a great way to start a day. I was at our county fair promoting our store and last minute I took a wall hanging I had made of the Wizard of Oz collection. It was for show not to sell. a lady loved it, I said not for sale, she came back with DH and he offered $100. for the 18' x 24" wallhanging, so I took the $$$.

Sandy65 02-27-2013 05:27 AM

W hat a great day. The mail lady might be back for more.

ljptexas 02-27-2013 05:37 AM

Way to go, girl!!

Steady Stiching 02-27-2013 05:56 AM

More money for fabric <teee hee hee>

MargeD 02-27-2013 08:22 AM

Congratulations on your "spur of the moment" sale of your quit, and I'm sure both of you went away happy. Sometimes people need to see something on a wall to appreciate how it would look in their home. Congratulations again.

RedGarnet222 02-27-2013 08:42 AM

Kudos on your sale! It is so very nice to have someone love your work so much that they are willing to pay to have it. The best part? She will take good care of it and get lots of compliments from her friends and family. I bet she will be back for more.

ArtsyOne 02-27-2013 08:46 AM

What a great surprise! And it will be a source of future sales for you when her friends see it hanging in her home. Congratulations!

IBQUILTIN 02-27-2013 09:57 AM

Sometimes you get lucky. This time was for you. Maybe she will come back looking for more

runswithscissors 02-27-2013 10:17 AM

sulyle 02-27-2013 03:21 PM

Wow! That's great. Wish someone would come to my door to buy something.

Dragonomine 02-27-2013 03:56 PM

That's great!

Auntie Em 02-27-2013 04:46 PM

Neat!!! Now you can get some more fabric!!!!

sew1 02-27-2013 07:16 PM

You scored. Good for you.

JoanneS 02-28-2013 04:27 PM

I think I'll put a quilted something on the wall by the front door!

KarenR 02-28-2013 04:29 PM

Just think of how many times she has saw it and wished she had asked.

I know our mail people are the same for years.
