Well, I have a choice to make. Should I give her a lap quilt? I don't think she realizes how expensive they are. I had it long armed quilted and it cost me $100 plus over $100 for the fabric. I don't have any runners to give her. She does a great job on my hair and I'm going to continue using her, but I just don't know if giving her such an expensive gift is the right thing to do. What do you think? I have quite a few quilts.
Am quite shocked that a lap quilt takes $100 of fabric, ok ,I know I buy q/tops but have had extremely well made/good fabric ones for under $39 then use either warm/natural or poly and often a nice sheet or inexpensive cotton backing; why pay $100 for quilting ,can you not do yourself /tie or hand quilt?
Am sure she has no idea of cost so therefore you must weigh up whether you wish to do this.
