    well she may have lost the number but surely she knows where you still live! I would call and at least ask for what she didn't use back.

    Thanks everyone for your opinions. It bothers me more because my hubby said on the day she took it, that I'd never get paid for it. She attends the same church as my mom as is an active participant there, so it bothers my mom that she did this. Personally, I was glad to be able to help out someone in need. Red plain flannel isn't exactly something one can find readily locally, I knew I had some, she said she needed some, so guess I could have just kept my mouth shut, or maybe asked her how much would she be prepared to pay for flannel... Lesson learned.

    I think I will call and check on her progress and see how things are going. If she brings it up, that's great, if not, well I will let it go. I feel that people have been good to me and it's not like I can't live without this flannel. If she can live with it, so can I.

    Maybe she is really embarassed that she didn't call you back or just plain forgot. I would call her and ask how the wedding went (or some other ice breaker) and ask how much of the fabric she used, if she plans on giving back any of it and how much she will pay you for what she used. That is not a nice thing to do to someone who helped you out when you needed fabric! She needs to "man up" and pay you! Put your big girl pants on and tell her!!

    I agree, I would call her and ask her about how her quilt came out and if she was ready for the wedding. I think then I would ask her when would be the best time for me to stop by and pick up the fabric she didn't use.

    Why don't you just "stop by" to admire her quilt and then let her know a dollar value that you feel will cover what she took from you?

    I would call her and ask her if the red fabric she had taken worked into her quilt, and you should have a price in mind for the fabric. Tell her your price and go from there.

    I'm going to say this to this comment.

    I'm one of those people that would loose her head if it wasn't attached.
