Some I keep for myself. Some I make for seasonal display in my home. Some, and probably the most, I do as charity quilts for children. It gives me a chance to hone my quilting skills. If something does go a little wrong, it doesn't make any difference to me. Also, with the quilts I use for myself, I don't care if something goes wrong because the only person who is going to see it is me. The quilts I take in for longarm treatment are quilts I give away as gifts. I just finished the Halloween Masquerade quilt from the Keepsake Quilting catalogue as a birthday gift for my daughter, and I had it professionally done. If you don't know what to do with your quilts, there's children's organizations, there's veterans' organizations, there's senior citizen homes that all like to receive quilts. Hospitals, nursing homes. The list could go on and on.
