Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I wasn't sure how large scale you were looking to do this but if you are only doing a small number of quilts, one way I think to increase your profit would be to make it a raffle. I once bid on a beautifully made quilt that I would have loved to own but couldn't afford so I bought a chance to win it. I didn't win it but I took the chance. I would bid on a quilt for CF. People are very willing to participate in raffles when they know it is for a good cause. The one I bid on was displayed at a crafts show near my parents hometown. Anyone, it's just a thought. This is probably not fessible if you are thinking large quantities. - mom to Emma 22 months and Isabelle 3 1/2 years wo/cf On Wed, 8 May 2002 11:59:54 -0700 (PDT) Reinhardt jenirein@...> writes: > > Hi everyone!
