Our guild decided to meet once a month at the local quilt shop, however it was so much fun that they now meet twice a month and take donations of fabric. One of our members passed away and her family donated a ton of fabrics and sewing supplies, more than they could store, so they contacted the family and asked if they could have a quilters garage sale for the items and fabric they could not use. The family agreed and the local quilters snapped up the stuff at the sale, makeing it a very successful fund raiser for the guild. They make "disaster quits" to be given to those who have a house fire, or are caught in a flood, etc.
