Another idea..... if you know of a charitable organization that could use some "cash inflow", offer to make a quilt or give a quilt for them to raffle off or auction off depending on how they obtain funds. Schools, the Cancer society, SPCA, Meals on Wheels, lots of civic clubs and organizations have annual or ongoing events to raise money and a quilt is a good quick way to earn some money. Just do an internet search of charitable organizations near me and you may be surprised how many pop up.
The guilds in our area have annual quilt shows, and always make an "opportunity quilt". tickets are sold, $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. We sell tickets for months before the show and draw the winning ticket at the end of the show. The last time my guild did it, our individual guild make almost a $1000 on one quilt. That is significant money for an organization that depends on donations for most of its funds.
