SeamSTRESS Sally's Question

Hi, Sally, long time no see!

I know you are a smart cookie and I think the cleverest thing you could do in this situation is run in the other direction. LOL But if you truly want to help your friend with her gift idea for her friend's wedding then I would suggest that you and your friend go to the quilt shop together and you help your friend select the fabrics that she would like to be used in the quilt. Your friend should pay for all of the supplies needed for this quilt that she wants you to make ..... including the batting and the thread and the needles for your sewing machine. (Actually, your friend might swoon and change her mind right there!)

Then you should charge your friend for your time spent creating the quilt at so much an hour.

I will leave it to other BBers to offer their ideas about an hourly rate. I suspect that my hourly rate would be considered "pricey" by some but then I'm old and cranky and I think you'd have to be very lucky to hire me to sit at my sewing machine and do work for you. :-)
