I'm pleased with the timing of the article since I know most guilds do their raffle quilt planning at the start of their guild year, which around here is September.

If you get a chance to read the article, I'd love to have your feedback.

I just read that article last night. It was very well written and very informative. Congratulations on getting your article published.

With your suggestions in your article I hope to make a quilt that will appeal to more of the people that attended the fund raiser. Thanks

I love your Autism quilt. I hate it didn't make as much money for the organization as you'd hoped.

I haven't read Gail's article yet, but hope to pick up a copy this next week.

I read your article last week. Wonderful information and should be helpful to any group raffling a quilt. I love the way you explained which type of quilt to raffle for each situation. I had never thought about the consumers preferences in what type of quilt they would want. I just assumed anyone would love any type of quilt.
