Hi!
I'm doing an informal survey:
Is it your quilt guild's practice or policy to compensate the long-arm
quilter of the annual guild raffle quilt (used for fund-raising
activity for the guild) if it's done by a member of the guild?
And, yes, I know some quilts are hand-quilted by a group. I'm talking
about an instance where the quilt is quilted by a professional, who
happens to be a member of the guild, and has an ongoing business
providing this service to other quilters, both in the guild and
outside.
Just curious.
Thanks so much for your responses.

Did she volunteer to do it? Or was she asked to do it?
Some people give back to their guild by serving as president or chairing an
activity. Some people by making the blocks for the raffle quilt or doing
regular charity quilting on behalf of the guild. Some give back to their
guild by doing the longarm quilting on the raffle quilt.
So if she volunteered... a thank you and maybe a nice recognition in your
newsletter would be in order. If she was approached and asked to do it....
then I think (imnsho) she should be compensated.

I think that explains it perfectly, if they volunteered, then a big pat on
the back whatever way it is done in your guild is appropriate, otherwise,
negotiation needs to take place before the job is done, some guilds expect a
certain amount of hours from members helping at a show or something, so
there might be some negotiation that doesn't involve money.

Our guild to my knowledge compensates the long arm quilters we use. We have
several members that we give the quilts for either our presidents quilt or
opportunity quilts to quilt for us. Often they will do it at a reduced fee,
sometimes we have paid their going rate. Nancy

depends. If the guild approached the individual as a business person
she/he should be compensated for the work she did.
If she volunteered to do the quilting, that is another story. <G> I
would definitely offer some payment, or at least prominent mention of
the name of the quilter in all publicity if she is not paid.
We do pay to have our quilts done in one group. Another group has a
chapter "donate" the quilt. Individual chapters do various things.
