I like it! Maybe you should ask for a deposit in the future? At least you wouldn't be out 100% of your money that way...

That is so pretty!!! Thanks for sharing.

That is so cute. I know they loved it.

Maybe it would have been a good idea to draw out the design first and show her, and let her help with the fabric selection. And then, get a NONREFUNDABLE deposit for the table runner.

Well, she's missing out on a beautiful piece.

Love it!!!

I learned a hard lesson while sewing for the public. Didn't get many bad checks but I did have several people change their mind and choose not to take the item. The worst one was a wedding dress that had quite a bit of beadwork on it. Full skirt with lace overlay....she eloped and failed to tell me! I did donate the dress to a charity for girls that couldn't afford formal or wedding gowns. Lesson learned? Well maybe!

However, this is the third time she has ordered a runner and then decided against it, so I guess I'm going to have to change my policy. Dang.

Lovely, looks like you're the winner here.

Very pretty and I kow how you feel about customers changing their minds after they ask for a "specific" quilted item, but keep it and enjoy it for yourself. Nice pattern and choice of fabrics.
