My daughters are all real go-getters. Rachel is 13. She is already working and saving money towards a camp she wants to attend this next summer.
Just a few days ago we found out about a craft show at a local senior center. Miraculously, someone cancelled and we were able to take their table. We had 2 eight-foot banquet tables, so there was a lot of space.
Rachel sold freshly-baked muffins, water, soft drinks, bookmarks, and scarves. She ended up making about $40. A good day's work!
I rounded up things I had made as gifts to display. I was thinking that if I sold them, I would just remake what I had sold. Well, bummer. I only sold one crocheted trivet and a tiny runner. The runner was something I made at least 15 years ago, right after I first started quilting.
But the good news is that I finished hand quilting the center of my Seeds of Kindness quilt (pictures with me above). On to the border!!

We do a few craft shows and food always sells good. Unfortunately, we don't sell food! Yesterday, we were at a craft show and it went pretty well, but I didn't sell many quilts. Oh well, I'll post them on my etsy store and maybe I'll have better luck.
the quilt you are holding is gorgeous! I need to make one some day!
Love your quilt - and getting some hand quilting done is definitely an accomplishment!
