    I have been working so hard at getting these things done...some of them have waited for years. Here are some that I finished before, and I have 3 more large quilts to bind! All will be going up for sale in my garage sale next week.

    They're all beautiful. Do you expect to get near-value price at a yard sale?

    I can't imagine why you would sell these in a garage sale as they are wonderful. Maybe garage sales are different where you live but around here (Ontario) garage sales are usually things you want to get rid of that really don't have much value. Quilts don't belong there!

    Actually, I don't. But, in the past, I've had a lot of buyers. People do tell me that I sell them for far less than they would expect to pay, but I'm OK with that. I have so many, that I really just want them to find good homes.

    Primarily, I do it because it's easier for me. Renting space at craft shows around here is EXPENSIVE, and I also have a pretty demanding full-time job that makes it hard to set aside the time. I live in a pretty small town, and I kind of get a kick out of meeting the people who are interested in my work. I especially love it when they feel like they've really gotten a bargain!

    What????? Selling them at a yard sale? No way! Wish I were in Michigan ... I'd be at your sale! They are beautiful! I especially like the third one!
