At the last minute the school decided to scratch the live auction part of the school carnival and then I didn't know what to do with the quilt. At the end of the year, the head administrator left, so I had a bunch of parents sign it at a going away party for him, and then gave it to him. He was touched, but I don't think he really liked it as he asked if he could donate it. It was pretty until everyone signed it. That took away from it, I thought.Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559847090671071342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-48621315624275131072013-07-10T16:35:20.875-05:002013-07-10T16:35:20.875-05:00Fantastic week.

I have donated stuff quilts and fabric to various causes over the years but never set out to make something for raffle or anything, mainly because I am scared that it would be under appreciated and not get the money it deserved as quilting is less valued down here .. its just a blanket isn't it. seabreezequiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210564993790938890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348317753715681760.post-5290898645401923612013-07-10T12:24:15.310-05:002013-07-10T12:24:15.310-05:00Indeed you've had a productive week.

OMGosh time slipped by unimaginably fast. For me there is no sense of accomplishment...the same time spent pushing thread and fabric through my sewing machine shows all kinds of accomplishment. FEELS GOOD! Right now I'm working on, I think year 9, of a donation for San Diego Humane Society's Fur Ball. The quilt gets auctioned off along with many other items to raise money for all the animals. Sounds like you had a wonderful experience.

I always worry about my work not being "good enough".
