    I work in a similar style...just making things i enjoy making... what i don't give away, i bring to a my table at our bi annual craft fair here in our comm... i don't price anything.. but when someone asks, "how much" it's usually because' they love it.. then i give some rediculously low price and they always go off with a smile on their face.. and my doll sweater and pants sets are "given" a lot of times to the little girls who jus stare at the pretty colors!! Thanks for reminding a lot of us why we do this sort of thing

    I agree. That is what quilting is all about.

    You are an angel in disguise! No amount of blue ribbons or accolades could replace the smile on that little girs face. Bless you for bringing such joy!

    Hugs,

    most of my give a way quilts I don't put my name on the label, I write " Stitched with love all in the name of Jesus" and the date and city/state. The actual giveaway is between Jesus and I, you will be blessed for doing what you're doing. As he states, "whatever you do for the least of my people you do unto me"

    Makes your heart happy, doesn't it

    How wonderful ..... when my grandsons come with their tattered quilts to be "repaired" it makes my heart sing as I know they are really loved.
