Making quilts for relatives
Sooner or later I think every quilter gets a request from
family/friends for a commissioned quilt. Now I am faced with one of those requests. The person wants a queen size quilt in certain colors in a 'Country' Pattern. "Do you have an extra quilt I could buy? Or maybe you could make me a quilt?" The email went on to say ... "If not can you recommend a shop that sells quilts? Or do you think I'd do better at a Department Store, or perhaps Walmart, or Target?" (PUHLEEZE!) I want to say: "I do not have 'extra' quilts." Okay, that is easy. I then would like to state that while I do not have the time to do this, I can detail the costs to make one. Then I'd list the costs of fabric, batting, and a professional long arm quilter. If anyone has suggestions on those topics, I'm eager to know. Also, what can I say about WHERE to buy a quilt? This subject has been discussed here before, but it was quite a while ago. I do know that some of the remarks were excellent. I'd like to hear your thoughts again. Thanks, PAT in VA/USA |
