A while back, I donated two of my quilts (the Raincheck quilt and Log Cabin Beads) as raffle items for a fundraiser for the Hair and Wigs for Cancer Fund. I'm happy to report that they raised over $2,000 between my two quilts, and one other one that was donated.
Fantastic....a worthy cause. I wonder who all has the privilege of enjoying your beautiful creations?
ReplyDeleteUnrelated side note, the author Sue Monk Kidd in her book, THE INVENTION OF WINGS, talks about "story quilts". Because her book character was forbidden to learn how to read, Charlotte made such a quilt for her daughters to tell her life story as a slave. What a powerful creation indeed. The children's book, STITCHING STARS: THE STORY QUILTS OF HARRIET POWERS by Mary Lyons, talks about this too.
