Judy Ingram Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just beautiful Heidi! Your guild should raise lots of $$$$ on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilted charm Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Heidi, your comment about the back reminds me of a good friend of mine. When ever she looks at one of my quilts, she always likes the back side better that the front. Maybe I should just make her a wholecloth some day, huh? Beautiful quilting by the way.

Quilting Heidi Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Jeanne, She is due Aug. 29th but the doctor doesn't think she'll wait that long. She has another appointment tomorrow. The doctor wasn't confident that he'd see her tomorrow in the office so really any day I guess. I'm praying for her to give me until Sunday! LOL I want to finish this last customer quilt, get MIL's stuff in order, deliver the cat to MIL and get work in order so I can go snuggle with my granddaughter! LOL Not asking too much am I?

bobbi Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Heidi! It's just gorgeous! Our Raffle quilt made more $$ than it ever has... I think that's because of the simple/classic/classy design. I just read an article in (McCall's Quilting?) that talked about exactly that. "Imagine the people who might win and what they would want on their bed..." It's usually a traditional pattern in 2 colors. I'm just sayin'! Just the fact that we did so much better says a lot! The other thing we did was to market it properly... we took it to meetings, to grocery stores, shows, etc. We really "sold" lots of tickets! And at our show, we had girls who weren't afraid to ask every person if they would like a ticket.... You have to be committed! It helps to have a beautiful quilt like yours! luv -b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you also worked on selling tickets for a long, long, long time. I just couldn't commit to that process with everything else going on in my life so I just donated the quilting time. I really do hope it makes good money and that my other guild mates get out and sell tickets. Time will tell. I'll let you all know when I have tickets and I'll be happy to send them to you. Thanks for all the support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
