Do any of you know of someone looking to buy or should I go ahead and list them here in the for sale section? Thanks for your opinions!
this is not really the best place to try selling things we've made.
we are a quilting board, not a commercial marketplace or selling site of any kind.
our Thrift Shop/Classifieds section has absolutely nothing to do with the reasons for which our community is here. it isn't at all part of our purpose or mission. the section exists solely as a place for us to sell or trade our leftovers and unwanted items. prices must be kept appropriately low.
i'm pleased to see that others have made so many good suggestions about proper places to offer quilts for sale. i hope you get many more. it's a topic of interest to any member who is ready to "go professional". :-)
