I have tried to sell several quilts on EBay. I sold the smaller, cheaper ones, but the larger, art quilts are not even getting a bite. Where is the best place to sell art quilts, which I have priced around $800.00?

My sister is having the same problem. In fact we were just discussing it. She sews beautifully and makes robes, nightgowns, quilts and a variety of other things. She thought that she would try some of the craft fairs at nearby resort areas.

sorry I don't know, but good luck.

Do you have any churches, schools or craft fairs in your area? You might also look in the local newspapers around the holidays when places are looking for crafters. I don't know about the price range but you could try.

Art quilts are more successfully marketed as art, not quilts. If there is a gallery that you like, take your portfolio and a sample or two there to talk to them about having them show your work for a time. Approach libraries and other public places (social centers and the like), even museums, about hanging your work for a month or so. The idea is to get it seen by as many people as possible. Make it easy for them to contact you if they like it. Enter it into shows. Lyric Kinard's website has a list of 'call for entries' you can check. Join SAQA, join the art quilt list, join the Quilting Arts message board. You may well find that fiber art is much more accepted in the art world than in the quilt world, at least in some areas of the country, at this point in time, but it is getting better...really it is. Good luck to you. :D

Thanks ladies, you gave me some ideas I didn't think of.

ETSY?
I see a lot of beautiful items on Etsy, but have never tried to sell anything there.
Might be worth a try. Good luck!
