Fundraising idea....Thoughts????
I am on our guilds fundraising committee....our monthly dues mostly cover the cost of renting our meeting space, insurance and other guild expenses but we feel we need to fundraise to help cover the cost of our "community quilts". Members make and donate most of the fabric for the tops, the guild purchases the batting and backing. Our community quilts are donated to the cancer clinic at our hospital and people get to choose a quilt at their first treatment.
My fundraising idea is to make quilt kits , like we do for our members to make....but to sell these kits to other sewers and quilters. I am thinking a one day quilt kit sale...perhaps packaging the scraps from the kits and selling those as scrap bundles.
I know that our guild members could easily donate fabric from stash to make the kits. 100 kits at $25-30 would bring in $2,500-3,000. Kits would include free pattern and fabric to make quilt top.
My questions are ....would you go to a kit sale?. Do you think this would work?. Have you seen this done. Any comments are welcome
