I belong to a church quilt ministry. At the outset, our leader decided that anything made during our meetings would be charity quilts going to charities around the city. She teaches classes free to anyone who wants to learn. We meet the first and third Sunday from 2:00-5:00. We bring our sewing machines and piece and quilt using donated fabric....the church members were asked to donate any fabric and we sorted through it putting aside quilting materials and donating the rest to a storefront ministry that handles used craft items. The church gives a yearly stipend to help defray the cost of batting and backing. This small group has grown to about 25 members and is the most successful ministry in the church. We give quilts to a pediatric wing of the hospital, a young mother's help group....whomever needs them. It's a wonderful ministry and I don't even belong to the church. Good luck with your group.
