We didn't know from the first posting that the friend told her to sell it.

Friendship is friendship and work is work is what my 91 year old MIL is always saying to me when this happens to me

SEND IT BACK?? WHY IN THE WORLD??? the reason she's saying to keep it and sell it is because she knows she's wrong and is embarrassed at the amount she owes, not out of love. she thinking that whatever money the quilt brings in will compensate for the amount she owes. NOT :evil: she did a terrible thing to a friend and is now trying to make nice without paying a dime. she should be ashamed of herself. if you washed someone's windows or cleaned their home and they refused to pay you because it didn't really cost you anything, would you smile and say it's okay, i had nothing else to do for 9 hours anyway except clean your house and get tricked by a friend? where can i find a housemaid like that? how great would that be? everyone who suggests that she give back the quilt and expect no payment has obviously never been stung for a promised $250. and 9 hours. she lost money and she lost time and she lost what she thought was a friend. she should at least try to get back some money.

she'll never get back the time and she shouldn't want back that friend.

Since you have added the comment that she told you to keep the quilt, then by all means do so. Finish it up nicely and donate it to a Women's Shelter, Nursing Home, Veterans Hospital or some place like that.

Why you would want to keep it as a reminder not to do it again is beyond me. Lesson learned, get it out of the house, move on.

to summarize:

the "friend" refused to pay the final price, which was within the original range they discussed.

the "friend" gave her the quilt so she could do with it as she pleases. that includes the right to donate or sell it to recover her costs.

the "friend" behaved very badly, so we can't say she did the right thing. however, she did do the next best thing.

Hindsight has reviewed all the advice and opinions presented and made her decision.

case closed.

i think it's time we all took off our cranky pants and got back to the fun stuff.

pretty please, with sugar on top?
