Several people have mentioned that money from the sale of the quilts could have gone to the RMD house and that this is a good thing. Well, yes, but a good portion of the money used to run RMD goes to salaries -- including the salaries of the director and employee responsible for this misunderstanding (or mistake, or whatever). The director is not volunteering her time to run this non-profit. However, EQ *did* donate her time and materials when making the quilts for sick kids. Like EQ, if I had known the quilts were to be sold I would have preferred to make a cash donation to the charity.
