Handmade quilt - proceeds to charity

Recommended Posts

I?m posting this on behalf of my mum who lives in Holland. She makes beautiful quilts as a hobby and usually sells them once per year at a craft market with all proceeds going to charity. Last year the market was cancelled due to the pandemic and sadly this year is the same. She has asked for my help to see if there would be another way of selling these so that she continue to support the charities. Thought I?d try the Forum. I will be responsible for getting these items to London. Each quilt is completely handmade (she?s a perfectionist so the result is beautiful) and takes months to complete. All the fabrics used are quilting fabrics. She knows it is not possible to charge for the time and even the fabrics are very expensive. She just enjoys making the quilts and doing something for a good cause at the same time. She is hoping to get around ?250-?300 for this quilt. It?s a large quilt, 175cm x 175cm. Please send me a message if you have any questions.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
