Maybe gear them towards teaching kids to quilt.

with a home printer you can print up really cute labels and put the kits in simple lunch sized paper bags. Maybe use a hole puncher to put a couple of holes in the bag foldover to thread through and tie a bow. Cute and inexpensive!

oops, forgot to add to put the label on the front of the bag :)

And the dancer in Singing in the Rain is Gene Kelley. Love that dancing and kicking rain..dum, da, dum,dum, da, dum...kick, kick, splash...makes me want to dance along.

I'm sure you will do just fine selling your quilt tops.

What about holiday themed doll quilts?
Sometimes people will pay more for a small item than for a larger item. Valentines - Halloween -Easter - Christmas - Fourth of July - Or door banners? I'm thinking you might have better luck with smaller finished items than a larger item that isn't "done" For a "fund-raiser" type of thing, I might part with $3 for a pot-holder, but not $20 for an unfinished quilt top. |
