Because of buget cuts to education My DH won't receive a pell grant for the next year of college. He only has 3 semesters left, so close and yet so far away. He had worked to hard to stop now. If we had money it wouldn't be a problem, but being poor with 3 kids makes it really tough. As a family we have sacrificed so he could get this done and hopefully get us out of the poor house. So here is what I was thinking of doing if I can find the time.
I'm thinking of making a bunch of quilt tops and selling them to help with the cost, but I'm not sure what to charge. Any ideas would be appreciated. Remember I am still learning to have straight lines.
Do any of you think this could actually help or would I be wasting my time?
Thank you
Carrie

I think it's a good idea. Find out if there are any craft fairs in the area and then get sewing. There are lots of patterns that use just straight lines. Be creative with your fabric colors. Best of luck to you!

I think hubby needs to talk to the financial aid people at his school and see what else is out there. Actually, this is the 1st year my kids have qualified for pell grants, so have somebody review your fafsa and be sure you didn't oops something!! Good luck!!

Quilt tops is one option. How about also doing table runners, small wall hangings and such that are completed. Baby quilts or baby quilt tops, as well as the larger tops.
I agree with seeking other options financially for dh's college funds.
Check out all options you may have. Being that close to a degree you can't quit now!
Wishing you the best and praying that all works out.
