Happy for you that you sold the quilt to someone who really will take care of it and love it. I only make quilts for my family.

I stand in front of the mirror and practice saying NO over and over. I dont make things for people to make money because of what just happened to you. People are surprised to find out that fabric actually cost money and so does having it quilted. My last quilt cost me $150 for fabric and $150 to have it machine quilted. If push came to shove and someone really really wanted it I would not take less then $800 and I am serious. My time, fabric, thread, use of my machine etc. cost me and now if you want it, it will cost you. And its cash only. My dh does woodworking and he gets 50% of the cost of the item for a deposit and its not refundable. I'm glad the mailman bought it, it was meant for him and he will enjoy it

Everything happens for a reason. :)

I always get a deposit before I start the quilt. Sounds like the right person got the quilt!
|
Good for you for standing your ground and how wonderful the Mailman just "happened" to love John Deere. What the enemy intends for evil the Lord turns around and uses for good. You go girl!!

Good for you, Joan! Shame on her for being such a twit!
The mailman got what he wanted, you were paid a price you are happy with and the lady got what she deserved! That sounds like a happy ending to me. Julie |
cONGRATS. iT IS A CRYIN' SHAME THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY "RELATED" TO THIS LADY AND YOUR PATHS WILL always cross - If she ever wants you to make her another quilt, I would tell her that you are so backed up that you can't take any extra orders...................

I'm not good enough at quilting to sell anything.That's a blessing,cause those kind of "deals"...such as you went thru would drive me bonkers!
Glad the mailman bought it.Good deal for him & you. |
Great resolution to a bad situation. I guess we live and learn. It is hard to ever know what to do when dealing with other people.
