Do any of you know of someone looking to buy or should I go ahead and list them here in the for sale section? Thanks for your opinions!
Plain and simple, people here make quilts. Why would we want to buy them? Occasionally someone here will sell tops, but most people here make quilts. That's why we're here on the board. |
Keepsake Quilting sells on consignment. Some they are selling are over$1,000.00

There is also a site called Quilt Broker where you can sell.

you will have to google "where to sell quilts"..i know there are on line shops that cater to quilters/quilts. before you can sell anything here, you need to be a "regular". explains it more here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-651-1.htm people just don't understand what it takes to make a quilt, time,money for fabric,batting,batting,thread etc. unless of course they are already a quilter! good luck and blessings! |

my husband is a computer programmer and web designer. He's almost done withe my website, so if you know enough about computers you can make your own website, or hire someone to do it

My daughter put my quilts on Facebook so far just 1 person who wants me to make a quilt for him out of a box of flannel shirts he has. I showed a quilt at the fair, (blue ribbon), and someone asked for name and phone # to have me make one for them. I guess I'm saying, exposure, helps. I sold 3 table toppers too, also from exposure.
|
there is also Quiltsforsale.ca, costs $10 to list one quilt. Might be worth it. Although I have one quilt on there and it has not sold yet.
