Make quilts to keep, give away or charity?
#11
All of the above. I have at least a dozen bed sized quilts, at least that many wallhangings and or throw size and I have given away dozens. I am currently involved in our local Linus Project. I have probably put together at least three hundred for them in the last couple of years. I always make a wallhanging for my guild or guilds annual Bingo. I make and give them for most birthday,anniversary, wedding or new baby gifts.

I have not made a quilt for me just gifts..I do hope to do some quilts for charity some day...Just when I think I will someone has a baby!!! And since I hand quilt everything it takes a long time to quilt one..

I've got my first sampler on the wall. I've given away about 35 baby quilts. I've made 2 memorial quilts as gifts and have 1 more to make. I have saved quilts that my mom and aunts have made for me.

I give Project LInus about 20-30 quilt tops a month, we sandwich them in meetings, Then I have made quilts for Quiltsforkids.org, I manage to sneal one in for me evry so often . Like the lady above I have wall quitls, quilts hanging all over, on the beds, behind recliners....so I can share. I can't quit quilting so I spread them out to charities, etc.

I make quilts for family and our quilt guild has a day of community service where we quilt for nursing homes, hospice, family services. We keep quilts on hand for people in need say a fire or something. I have kept very few but they are probably my favorites
