Default Cost for custom label

Hi folks,
I'm in the process of working out a custom embroidered quilt label with a local embroiderer. She's been very kind and helpful regarding design. In our initial conversation I asked her what the cost would be for this label. She said 'nothing - I'll just give this to you'!!! I objected, of course, saying she should be paid for her time and materials but she still has not given me a figure!

I expect we'll finalize design in the next day or so and she said she could turn the job around in a day! I don't want to go pick up this label from her and not be prepared to pay her for her work but I have no clue what a going rate would be. The design consists of a purchased (small price) image along with 'made for/made by' and the recipient's name, so other than the purchased image, not overly complex in my mind. But I don't do machine embroidery so really have no clue.

Any hints or clues as to a fair price to give this lady will be greatly appreciated.
