Fund Raiser Donation
Our quilting group was asked if anybody had an item they could donate to an auction to raise money for the Cancer Society.
I dug out an unfinished table runner top and quilted it. This was a mystery project we did in our guild several years ago.
We are going to put a minimum bid on our quilts, we don't want something to be auctioned for five dollars! That would be be
heartbreaking after all the money, time and work went into making it.
The other day I saw a table runner kit in a quilt shop and the price was $57. With the prices of fabric these days it's even
expensive to make something small like a table runner. I hope the auction goes well and they raise a lot of money for the cause.
Update: They disregarded my minimum bid and sold the table runner for peanuts. That's the last time I will donate an item to them.
