No, no! She's not that bad. This isn't one of those situations where
she's all wrong, and I'm the total good-guy. There's a fair amount of
grey area and misunderstanding here. She didn't suggest that she'd take
a quilt. She honestly didn't know what they're worth, brought up the
possibility of barter and understood immediately when I told her the
price of a quilt.

But I like cooking, like having friends over, enjoyed her company, feel
good about it and would take the chance again that someone I met at a
party would turn into a better friend in the future. Just because this
one didn't work out, doesn't mean that I'd keep it just business next
time. When I started, I didn't know the business details. Now I do.

I love the community college idea. I know just where to put up the sign
too.

A friend has put up some quilt pictures for me on his webpage. Though
it isn't a commercial site, I'm don't want anyone thinking I'm
advertising here or trying to turn a cooking group into a quilting one,
so if you're interested, email me privately (this address is unmunged),
and I'll tell you where you can you can see pictures of my quilts. Put
"cold soup" in the subject line so I don't delete your message as spam.
