Tote Tuesday – Fiberart for a Cause
Peggy Schroder’s Have A Heart tote which I and others donated to.
Fiberart For A Cause is the brainchild of quiltmaker/artist Virginia Spiegel. Its purpose is raising money for the American Cancer Society. For several years she has been active in putting together various fundraising auctions and has thus far raised and donated over $190,00! (In the past I played a very small role by donating a small quilt which raised several hundred dollars.) Now Virginia has created Tote Tuesday as another way to raise funds.
Tote Tuesday features themed totes filled with unique, beautiful, and inspiring items from the worlds of art quilting, fiber arts, knitting, beading, mixed media and surface design. The totes are including original artwork, autographed books, hand-dyed fabrics, gorgeous yarns, beads, handmade journals, fun and useful materials/tools for mixed-media and surface design, online classes, DVDs, and much, much more.
A list of the more than 20 themed totes now in progress is here. The bidding opens on February 2nd and continues through March. Check out the list, mark your calendar, and consider bidding on a tote filled with goodies.
100% of the proceeds will be donated directly to the American Cancer Society . For more information about the fundraiser, click here.
