and people wonder why I do NOT do any quilting for anybody but myself and my daughter!!
I did do a quilt for the guild - one (1) time... I didn't even mind doing the quilting for free but wasn't reimbursed for the batting or the backing - nobody even gave me the opportunity to say, 'don't worry about it'....
It wouldn't bother me so much except I know they paid for the first quilt to be done and nobody batted an eye over the bill... but the lqs closed so I did the next one.
There have been hints and innuendo about 'somebody' doing the quilting for this, that, or the other - I just pretend I have no clue what it's all about...
I've even had people make comments along the line that I'm 'selfish' or 'don't you feel guilty' ...
uh no, because hello, guess who paid for the setup! Nobody came along and said 'hey, you look like you need a free longarm and frame setup'... duh....
