I have given many quilts to friends and family for gifts. I have a pile still left to be quilted that I will decide once done if I will keep them for me or to sell them. I have sold my quilts for the last 10 years. I remember when my very first quilt was sold. I was living in Nova Scotia and I put this beautiful blue and white star sampler in to a quilt consignment store to be sold. It sold within a couple weeks to a couple from France!! I was sooo excited!! that was 1997.
I still want to donate some of my work to some special causes here. I also work for the Newfoundland Labrador Housing Corporation (its a division of provincial government) We provide housing and services to low income families. This coming November/December I will be donating one of my Christmas tree skirts that will be placed up on tickets with all proceeds going to help purchase Christmas hampers. Perhaps next year I might try a small Christmas lap quilt.
Cheers
