I would find a friend in a quilt guild or contact one online. Have a friend show them and show and tell and mention it is for sale. I am sure you will find a buyer.

this is not really the best place to try selling things we've made.

we are a quilting board, not a commercial marketplace or selling site of any kind.

our Thrift Shop/Classifieds section has absolutely nothing to do with the reasons for which our community is here. it isn't at all part of our purpose or mission. the section exists solely as a place for us to sell or trade our leftovers and unwanted items. prices must be kept appropriately low.

i'm pleased to see that others have made so many good suggestions about proper places to offer quilts for sale. i hope you get many more. it's a topic of interest to any member who is ready to "go professional". :-)

Try a consignment shop or a baby boutique. Also, Keepsake Quilting as well as other stores on the Fab Shop Hop sells quilts. Again, Good Luck!

I posted this thread because I realize that every forum is different. I didn't want to list my items for sale here untill I had checked everything out. The reason I love this forum above all the others is the willingness of its members to give opinions and advise. I really appreciate the suggestions for all the different venues. I had no idea that most of them I had never heard of exist. I have decided to give Etsy a try as it is similar to Ebay where I am a seller. I also want to thank those of you who have PM me and for all of the well wishes sent my way. Times are hard right now but as long as my stash holds out I will continue to do cherity quilts and donations as this is what gives me the most pleasure.

I guess what I am saying is a simple thank you to all of you. You are a truely wonderful group of talented and caring people :)

The red one came from a pattern I bought from Keepsake Quilting. It's called Labrynth (sp). They offer the pattern only as well as the entire kit with all the fabric :)
