Looking For A Good Home ...

 One positive outcome of the CoVid-19 Pandemic is that crafters such as myself have more time to create. I am not sure why this is a strong compulsion but I do know that I am not alone. The result is a condo full of completed art and craft projects. 

Now that I am past the magic age of 65 and am collecting government pensions I find I no longer need extra dollars ... but I do know many agencies that are in great need of funds. So I have been thinking that I will list some of my pieces that are looking for a good home and ask that the recipient donates what they consider an appropriate amount of money to the charity of their choice. I am happy to mail or deliver the items(s) to you at my expense. 

I have no idea what will happen with this, I hope that I do get at least a few takers.

Below I will show my pieces, if any strike your fancy and you would like it for yourself or to give as a gift just send me an email at vicquilter@gmail.com.
