I quilt for the love of quilting. My quilts are to be used.
I have given most of them away; either to family and friends, for weddings and for babies. I usually make a couple a year for our church to raffle for benevolence needs. I also Quilt for Kids.

I quilt for charity, our goal is 35 this year I have one other person who just does the sewing. Second I quilt for a family member and then just to learn.

I sew for fun and gifts. My DH wants me to start selling things. I just enjoy giving hand made gifts.

I do it now for fun. I have always loved sewing. I used to do the longarm quilting for profit and began to hate it after 15 years. I am now trying to sell my old long arm machine and binder.

All of the above.,,,,,fun, self, gifts, friends, charity and sometimes for pay. Never for shows......I like the fun aspect of it.

Quilt mostly for fun and the love of quilting. Make for family and close friends. I also keep most of my quilts unless I'm making them for a special person.

I quilt for fun and also it is a great way to keep my hands which are racked with RA in somewhat usable shape. I donate all of my quilts and well as doll clothes I make to local nursing homes or Ronald McDonald House.
