Fiberart For A Cause

Just wanted to add a new button to my blog, and let you know what it’s all about if you didn’t already know. Last year, Virginia Spiegel had a brainstorm that has taken on a life of its own: using fabric postcards to support cancer research. Karey Bresenhan, one of the founders and president of Quilts, Inc., and godmother to quilters everywhere who know of the annual Festival in Houston as “Mecca”, became the honorary chairperson and donated space at Festival to help Virginia’s efforts, and again at Spring Festival in Chicago. Virginia has raised over FIFTY THOUSAND (!!!!!!! yep, I’m shouting!) dollars through the generosity of the artists who donated the cards and the many, many purchasers.

Here’s the button:

If you click on the button in the side-bar area, to the right of this post, it will take you to Virginia’s site. There you can get a sneak peek at some of the postcards and, currently, of the items in the reverse auction, all to benefit cancer research (and we hope, cures!). Thanks to DebR for creating this button and sharing her computer expertise!
