I made a simple quilt with black squares and colorful batiks for a raffle during our Christmas lunch at work. The proceeds were to go to our community kitchen that serves lunches 5 days a week and they give out baskets at Christmas to needy families to help tie them over the holidays while they are closed.
It was small 44 x 60 so I wasn't holding out on it raising much money... it raised $205 from about 35 people (not bad for our office). The winner ended up being our company president. I told her later that I was glad she had won it. She said she supposed she should re-donate it to try and raise more but said ... I really want to keep it because you made it. That made me feel good all over
