I would definitely call the lady and ask if the fabric was what she needed. If it wasn't you may want to offer it to someone else. Ask her if she needed a little more time to determine how much of the fabric she would need so you can figure a price for her.

I would call her and tell her that you would like the rest of the fabric back that she hasn't used, as you would like to use it in a quilt.

mayday

call her, ask how quilt went as you have not heard, and if any fabric left you will take back-----------I am astounded that ANYONE ,even a friend , would take advantage such as this she disgusts me.
Even if she's mislaid your phone no--which I doubt--she knows where you live so could have dropped in a note.

Good advice.

Glad you called her!

I would call her and ask if she had used all the fabric and if she was going to be able to pay you soon for the fabric used. Tell her you can come by and pick up the unsed fabric and pick up your payment at the same time. It is the principle but also the money. She offered to pay for it and she would of had to if she bought it at a store. Maybe she got busy and forgot or maybe she was trying to get away with something for free. Give her the benefit of the doubt but I would still call her and ask if she had any material left and if she had the payment for you for the rest or the whole thing. If she doesn't pay you for it after that then you need to chalk it up as a lessen learned.

There's a pretty good chance that when you call her and identify yourself she will be glad you called.

My Dad always used to say "What takes nerve to ask takes no nerve to refuse". By the same token, what takes nerve to
"forget" takes no nerve to "remind"

I think you will feel worse if you don't do anything at all.
Go for it!

I would call and ask her how the quilt was going and if the fabric helped out. I wouldn't make an issue of it, as you'll get the favor of giving back ten fold. I believe this and usually comes back to you in many different ways.

Years ago a lady borrowed my snap applicator to finish a western shirt for her husband. Nearly two years!! later, I told her I needed it back for something I was working on, which was the truth. She THEN "borrowed" it again (still hadn't finished DH's shirt). Eventually I saw him wearing the shirt and said how nice it turned out and that I needed my snap applicator back, again. She told me she'd returned it a long time ago, that she'd given it to my husband... Well, he knew nothing about it but would certainly have set it with my sewing stuff if he had received it from her!
Bottom line: to replace it, with all the extras I had with it, would now cost at least $40! >:(
Sad to regret having been helpful to a fellow thread-head.

That is so sad. I guess I would call her and find out how the quilt worked out and see if she planned to pay for the material that went into it.
