    If she like modern fabrics, she might like Mouse Camp by Erica Hite. If she likes very traditional or Civil War prints, she might like A Prairie Gathering or Penny Rose.

    Great minds don't always think alike. You need more information. Pictures or paint samples would help both of you get the project coordinated. Why did she like the pillow you made? Is that the 'flavor' she is looking for?

    Maroon is tough. There is not much out there except in reproduction fabrics. Get the paint samples and go shopping. Yeah!

    YES, take her shopping with you, or have her meet you at the store. When she sees how much fabric costs these days, she won't quibble about what you have to charge for her pillows.

    I would ask her to provide the fabric. She knows just what she has in mind.

    There are sooooo many shades of maroon and blue, I'd take her to a fabric store to get an idea of the shades she is looking for. I have some maroon batik -- but is she looking for a purplier maroon or a red-ish maroon. You need to be on the same page color wise.
