~~gently snipped~
My neighbor asked me to look at it and advise her.~snippity snip~
Now the idea for the quilt is a good one. The
theme is cute.
How do I gently tell my neighbor the quilt is not worth 400 dollars~few more snips~
I don't want to take on teaching someone to quilt because of my
health,
Any suggestions ??????
You say......."The theme is very cute. I have absolutely NO experience or
ideas about how to appraise a quilt so won't even venture a guess. The LQS
would be your best bet to get a realistic appraisal, it's located at
____________ ." You now have no responsibility about what's going to be
said, it's out of your hands. What the people at the LQS say isn't your
concern.
Apparently nobody has asked you to give quilt instructions or help this lady
so don't worry about bullets unless they've left the barrel. If it should
happen that you are asked to help her you just be very honest and tell them
what you told us. "NO, I can't because of my health." Period, end of story,
you need no long excuses or detailed reasons, you owe nobody any obligation.
The less said, the fewer the reasons and suggestions the better. Be brief,
be firm, don't get involved and don't waste time on something that really
isn't your problem or obligation and get that quilt out of your house.
