I quit sewing for many charities when the quilts were showing up on ebay, craigslist and yard sales!

Our local YWCA has our extension clubs make quilts and pillow cases each year for Christmas. While handing them out 2 years ago a lady in line was bragging to the ladies around her that this was her third year to get quilts/cases for her 6 kids and that she then sells the quilts online and uses the money to buy video games! REALLY...if she was willing to sell them, I doubt she was buying games with the money, but drugs or bar hopping instead....so I no longer donate fabric, times, etc to that project.

I now make lap quilts for the veteran's in homes around the state. Quilts that I know are loved and KEPT and appreciated!
