Keep On Researching

On February 4, earlier this month, there was a fabulous fundraising event that benefited the American Cancer Society. You may remember it...

This is the quilt I made and donated to THE 100.

Just yesterday I received a wonderful email from the patron who donated to this fundraiser and was selected to receive my quilt.  Here is Allison with the quilt:

The most wonderful thing about Allison is that she is a breast cancer researcher at Auburn University. She told me she will be displaying the quilt in her lab and from the looks of her lab it seems she loves quilts as you can see more in the background. Thank you to Allison and all those who do this important work.

What's Happening

I just wanted to remind you that tomorrow, February 4, starting at 10:00 am Central, 

THE 100 will begin.  Click here for all the details.

100 Artists + 100 Patrons + One Day = $10,000 To Fight Cancer

This is the quilt I made and donated to THE 100. Anyone can participate, just be one of the first 100 generous people to donate $100 (following directions in the link above) and you will receive a piece of art from one of the 100 artists who donated their work. Easy peasy, right?!

THE 100 - My Art Donation

Last month I shared with you information about an upcoming fundraiser.  I wrote how I was asked to participate by creating an artwork that will be purchased by someone who contributes $100 to the American Cancer Society. I am sharing with you today, the art that I created for the fundraiser. 

My piece is titled Sitting Pretty and is a mixed media art quilt that measures 12" x 12". If you would like more information about this event, please see the links below.

On February 4, 2015, the first 100 people to donate $100 by credit card directly to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause will receive an artwork from one of the 100 generous artists who are participating.
