Auction - We're Going On A Bear Hunt! (close of Auction Changed)

 This is a cot sized quilt.

It is unique. I designed and made this quilt. 

There is no other like it.

 It is made of quality patchwork cotton fabrics and batting.

 It is pieced, appliqued and free motion quilted.

 I have included a label on the back which can be personalised as the winner wishes.

 This is a quilt that will become a treasured heirloom. 

To be handed down from mother to daughter.

This quilt will tell a story, not just of the Bear's, but of the lives it has touched.

Raffle - Granny Square Scarf (change of date)

 Yarn: My Friends 55% Acrylic 45% Cotton

Length: 196cm

 Yesterday I was watching some horrific footage on the TV.

I crochet this as I watched.

I had to turn the tv off the images and stories were too upsetting.

Stories of parents lost, of children lost of homes lost.

And I felt lost to help.

Toni at Make It Perfect has given many of us the opportunity to feel a little less lost.

By organising a way for us to fund raise the necessary cash 

to help those affected by the Queensland Flood.

The raffle closes at midnight on 24th January, 2011.
Raffle open until Wednesday 26th Jan 12 midday.
This is to allow those who may have missed out on winning an auction
to have an opportunity to win a raffle and donate to the Flood Appeal


Please make a minimum $5 donation to the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal
then return here and leave a comment with your receipt number.
You can enter as many times as you like
but each entry will require an individual receipt number.

I will post anywhere in the world.

Fund Raising

There are many ways you can get involved in raising funds to help those
affected by the flooding in Queensland.

We've donated directly through the 

Queensland Government Website

I think this is the quickest way to help right now.

There are also many fund raising auctions.

Robyn from Possum Pouches  has quickly organised auctions to raise funds.

Jennie of  Posie Patchwork has listed her auction and raffle this morning.

Tas of Little Boozle is also raising money with a raffle on her site.

Kate of Foxs Lane is also in the process of making an item for auction.

The list of all those auctioning items on their blogs can be found on Toni's site

Please .....
