What about a local guild or quilting group that has an annual sale for local charities? Maybe you could sell some? Let the creative juices flow & keep on keeping on! JCY
JCY - My problem is I have to have a reason to make something. Where this came from, I dont' know! Another problem I have is I have heard from others that often, when you donate something like a quilt to a hospital or elsewhere...that it often doesn't go to the person in need...the work staff will swipe it and take it home! I am in a small town, don't have much here. I would love to sell them but tried on Etsy and even at my lower prices..not a sale. I tried a quilt guild group, but you have to pay a membership fee and monthly fees for this or that and participate in all the business parts of the guild, which I dont' want to do any of those! I have given to some people and didn't even get a Thank you! I"ll keep at it tho. HOlidays are depressing to me anyway so maybe that is my problem!
