Later I and a lot of other ladies in the group found out that the organizer was sorting through each month's donations and taking the best of the lot to a large city approx 2 hours away and selling them. After he husband passed on, she had the nerve to set up a table at a local craft fair and selling them at low prices guaranteed to make a sale. Needless to say, I stopped donating. Now I do make charity quilts which I give out to a Headstart class at my church. I can see where my donations are going. My experience has really given me trust issues.
