quilt for a friend
My best friend was shopping with me, and we stopped at a quilt shop. She is not a quilter, but she routinely enables my addiction!
Anyway, she found a fabric that exactly matched her wallpaper. She had been trying to find a bedspread she liked for more than a year, and had not found one. She asked me if I would make her a quilt. She bought the fabric, and several coordinating pieces, with my help. I picked the pattern. I told her up front that I would not quilt it for her, as I cannot machine quilt a king sized quilt on my machine at home. She's going to buy the batt and pay for having it quilted. Before we started, I made sure she understood how much that would cost. I've probably spent another $50 on fabric just because I prefer to have more variety in my fabrics rather than less. I also have not used all of what she bought, and that's going in my stash. My time is a donation of love. I wouldn't do it for anyone else, and she knows it.
