Making a quilt to
donate to Quilt Pink to be auctioned off:
On Sept. 20, 2006,
ladies gathered to make some "funky" Hugs and Kisses blocks as well as
some 4 patch blocks. Names were gathered for our center vase full of
flowers done in memory/honor of those who had breast cancer. IT was a
successful PINK Day!
I finished
making some extra blocks. I quilted it with a pink variagated thread and
put words of encouragement throughout the quilt, such as hope, hugs,
kisses, strength, courage, etc. It was bound, a label added and away it
went to Quilt Pink,
ready for auction on ebay.

Thanks to all the
wonderful ladies who gave up a Saturday to help make this quilt for a
great cause!
UPDATE: Sept. 20,
2007--we did get a bid on our quilt and it sold for $150. A good thing
is that Quilt Pink received over 4000 quilts to be auctioned off! The
unfortunate thing is that there were so many and they have been up for
auction, in batches of 100 at a time, that the market is getting
somewhat diluted and quite a few are not selling or just getting the
minimum bids. Quilters are just too generous! :)
This year, on Sept. 29, 2007 from 1-5 PM, we will participate, of
sorts, on Quilt Pink Day by gathering together to make blocks and giving
it to a local quilter who is suffering from breast cancer. |
