I am not sure how you fit 150 quilts in a room. That's a lot of space they take up in addition to sewing machine/s, fabric, supplies, tables, etc. Congrats for passing some on. It really is freeing. I kind of get attached but when I see how others enjoy them as well, it is fun to pass them to the needy.-- Or Quilts of Valor would be great if you knew they really needed them!

I completely agree with caspharm you need to open an Etsy store and make some money from your hard work.

Just the 10 pinned and ready to be quilted would be enough for me. If you have a long arm I guess it wouldn't seem too much. I quilt on my DSM.

Hi Lynnie -
Having been the lucky recipient of one of your doll quilts, I can only imagine what your stack of quilts looks like ... you're incredibly talented and whatever you do with the quilts, it will make a difference in people's lives. You are a marvelously generous and gifted textile maven and I feel lucky to have met you here on the QB. |
Lynnie, keep us posted on how your sale goes!

You're a very productive gal. I have 3 drawers of "to do", with the fabrics and the patterns, just haven't gotten around to them. I have a very limited family, have made several for my granddaughter, my son gets done, and we have 1 for us. Everything else I've made have been donated to shelters for homeless women/children, foster homes, and kids that are very sick, either with cancer or the likes. I wanted to make some for the "old folks" home here locally, but when I checked they told me that when the client died, if the family didn't want the quilt, they just toss them in the garbage, so needless to say, I don't donate to them.

I wouldn't want my loved ones to be in a home that is that uncaring. I would fear that their sense of value would extend to their residents.
