I quilt for the love of quilting. My quilts are to be used.
I have given most of them away; either to family and friends, for weddings and for babies. I usually make a couple a year for our church to raffle for benevolence needs. I also Quilt for Kids.

I quilt for charity, our goal is 35 this year I have one other person who just does the sewing. Second I quilt for a family member and then just to learn.

I sew for fun and gifts. My DH wants me to start selling things. I just enjoy giving hand made gifts.

I do it now for fun. I have always loved sewing. I used to do the longarm quilting for profit and began to hate it after 15 years. I am now trying to sell my old long arm machine and binder.

Quilt mostly for fun and the love of quilting. Make for family and close friends. I also keep most of my quilts unless I'm making them for a special person.

I quilt for fun and also it is a great way to keep my hands which are racked with RA in somewhat usable shape. I donate all of my quilts and well as doll clothes I make to local nursing homes or Ronald McDonald House.
