Yes, please DO keep us posted. There is nothing at ALL wrong with you bringing this to our forum. You after all, did so much by yourself before you mentioned it to anyone else. They ignored your requests for an answer. If we cannot speak to each other about these kinds of problems, who CAN we speak to? The people who were responsible for the whole shebang in the first place, have already been given a chance to explain. As I said earlier, please let us know how it goes. No one will stop donating to the RMH, they do some wonderful things. It's just a couple of folks in their employ who have handled this badly.

This is what happens way to often in organizations....
I am sorry to say that when things like this happen it tends to turn people off........ and then these organizations wonder why donations go down.
I would want to find out just what happened with my quilts and make sure it didn't happen again.
Good luck finding out and please keep us posted.

I was a little fired up at what appears to be an attack on Extreme Quilter and the rest of us for sharing our opinion. As an NPO adminstrator I would think you, above all, would be concerned with the lack of response from staff and the director and how that reflects on the RMH. The "need" for the private home phone number and a conversation makes it sound like someone is trying to cover something up. Extreme Quilter has made several attempts at clarifying the RMH error and has a right to ask for the opinion of others.

Just so you know, this situation would not keep me from donating. It would just help me to clarify how my donation is to be used.

No one is attacking her..And i am sorry if it has been taken that way.
I hope it all works out well for her, and she finds out what she needs to know about her quilts.
this now leaves me out of this thread..with best wishes and a happy resolution for all involved...

Hello i thought RMH is a nonprofit organzation then why is this unknown person buying quilts from RMH & what's really strange the director hurry and answer the 1st e-mail ,then when you started to inquire about the unknown person wanting you to make her a quilt she pass the buck,and refuse to answer any more mail, the unknown person has busted the director & her staff member, they' in this together please hurry and call headquarter, i wouldn't tell her anything (director) she would then have enough time to cover her tracks, this is my two cents.let us know what happens because if it's not misunderstanding they're doing other people the same way LOL Annette

If the wheel doesn't squeak how is the mechanic to know that it needs fixing?

As a staff member of a local PA RMH I would make a personal trip to your local house...WE do not ever sell our wuilts, they are given tot he sick children or the parents of them for the child! Yor situation is NOT common practice, and I would personally address it and get answers. So sorry for your problem, I hope you continue to give to charities...whichever one you choose!

I would also need to know where my quilt was going.

I never donate anything to national "charities". I ony do local things so that I know they are going for things they are intended to go for. When I donate them to children's homes I just ask if it's going to be sold or given to a child so that I know what's going to happen to it.
