    Default Make a quilt before Christmas?

    I just saw a post on a Facebook Yard Sale page of someone looking for a person to make a quilt from baby's clothes. Oh, she wants it done before Christmas.

    hahahahahaha

    I feel like asking if she means Christmas of 2015 because surely she can't mean THIS Christmas.

    Ahhhh, that's funny! Maybe she'll find someone to do it for $50 bucks an hour and extra for FAST shipping!

    Even if someone local does it, she better be willing to pay top dollar.

    I had a girl I went to high school with that I'm friends with on FB ask me about two weeks ago for the same thing! She wanted two lap-sized quilts made for her 8 and 6 year-olds out of their favorite baby clothes.... 1) needed them by Christmas, and 2) only could spend about $40 a piece on them.

    Politely told her I couldn't do it for that amount, especially in such short notice.

    I think some people have no clue what they're asking for....

    I found out last year that a young mother through my church wanted nothing but a quilt made from baby clothes for Christmas. And that was the weekend before Christmas. I thought it was too bad she didn't think of it earlier in the year, but then some one told me that her baby had passed from sids and all she wanted was a quilt to be comforted with. I made it for her and was just thinking about her this morning. This might be somebody that really needs the help of a quilter and doesn't know what is involved.

    I could understand if it was for comfort for a lost child. This post didn't hint at it being anything like that or even a sick child. Just she wanted the "blanket" made for her grandchild from his clothes for Christmas.
