I tend to be a little pessimistic also and would gently remind her that you had agreed that she would pay you for it. I've seen quilters when they think there are freebies and they are like vultures on carrion. At our guild's brown bag auction last year, I bought 25.00 worth of tickets and bid on only three items, one of which was a rail system for FMQ which is worth about 200.00. It had never been opened and there are several ladies in our guild who buy things and then never use them and then bring them to the auction. I didn't get it but when the lady who won it saw how disappointed I was, she came up afterwards and said to the lady in charge that she wanted me to have it. Another lady swooped in right then and took it. I was shocked!!!
