We have a quilt group at church. It's been in place for 9 years. We now get part of the church budget. This has morphed into also making dresses for Africa, duffel bags for foster kids, pocket prayer quilts, and anything else anyone wants to do. It's like herding cats. During the year, we show the dresses (oh, that's morphed, too, into shorts for boys and sani-pads) and have one Sunday with a special offering envelope for money to buy batting or whatever is needed. Most everything else is donated. Each person seems to adopt a "cause" and that is fine. I just stick to quilts and do about 1 or 2 a year. Then I try to get 1 or 2 done for myself.
