chickenscratch Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 :P:P:P:P:P I had to step away from the computer for a few minutes. I just got a cool phone call and I just have to share. I mentioned that a lady called me last week to ask me to do some quilts for her. She wanted to know about batting, backing, prices, etc. I have to admit that when I hung up the phone I honestly didn\'t think she\'d call back. I figured it was just another one of those people who call to scope out prices, or call and then say they can\'t afford it. There are LOTS of those people around here. ANYWAY, she just called back. She is going to drive to Jackson tomorrow to buy backing fabric and batting from Hancocks. THen she\'s coming here Saturday about noon to drop off THREE quilts. AND one\'s a DWR that she wants custom qulting on. The other two are a basket applique and a duck applique. She just wants "penny an inch" on those. I\'m SO EXCITED (YEAH, I\'M SINGING). I\'ll take pictures of what she brings so y\'all can give me lots of cool quilting ideas. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Way to go Teresa! I hope she proves to be a great customer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennan100 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 WOOHOO, Teresa! I\'m so excited for you! This is soooo great! Three at a time from one customer? Can\'t wait to see what she brings you and "hear" all the advise you get and then see what you decide on. You are so talented, it will only take a few to get your name out there. If she has three for you bet she knows other toppers, too. This could be contagious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtreusch Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You go girl!! Now wait until your customer shows the finished quilts to her quilting friends.

chickenscratch Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The lady didn\'t show up. I don\'t know why I get excited before things really happen. I always do that, then I get let down. She won\'t answer her phone right now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonden Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Now you don\'t know what kept her from coming. It could have been an emergency or something else fun to do. I\'ve had that happen to me also. Keep the faith. If it\'s meant to be it will be. If she doesn;t show up, it may be for the better as she may keep doing that.

DB Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Maybe she isn\'t answering her phone because she is enroute to you. Some people just think because you\'re a business that they can just show up whenever. I\'ve had that happen to me. Hang in there, it will happen.

chickenscratch Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Lady never showed up yesterday. Didn\'t answer her phone last night. I will try again today, but since I\'ve had so many brush offs from people around here, I\'m afraid that\'s what happened. Maybe she heard about the $40 lady and went there instead.

mrsbishwit Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Sorry to hear the lady was a no show, perhaps there was an emergency in her family that she had to tend to or maybe when she made the appointment with you she forgot to write the info down then later forgot that she even had an appointment and went away for the weekend. Anything is possible, but if she did indeed blow you off on purpose then her behavior is just plain rude and childish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
