Join us in our efforts to raise funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Stanford located at 520 Sand Hill Road in Palo Alto, CA!! Our contact at the House is Linda Lyons, Development Director! Why don't you take a tour through their HOUSE! Quilters from the HGTV Quilting and Needlework Forum have joined together to make this fundraiser possible! The whole month of February, quilts will be arriving from all over the country from each of the HGTV Quilters who signed on to make a quilt for the raffle. Visit the RAFFLE POST and read about our raffle and then help us by purchasing tickets! The Ronald McDonald House of Stanford will receive 100% of the proceeds from the raffle! I will continue to update the photos on the slideshow as the quilts arrive! There will be 36 quilts eligible for winning in this years raffle on September 11, 2010!! We raised $1,835.00 for the Ronald McDonald House in Durham, NC in 2008! We were able to present the Ronald McDonald House in Dallas, TX with $4,000 from last years raffle which was held in July 2009! Can we bust that mark wide open and raise even more with the current raffle! We need your help! Please, tell your family, friends or co workers about this and help us reach our goal of exceeding last year’s ticket sales!! Email me for tickets! Thanks so much for your support!

Dare To Be Ugly!

22 ladies signed on for a challenge I hosted on the HGTV Quilting and Needlework Forum. It was the 1st Annual Dare To Be Ugly Challenge! I purchased one of the ugliest fabrics I could find and the contestants each received 1/2 yard to make any project they chose with it. They had to use 90% of the fabric and had the freedom to incorporate any other fabrics they chose to in the making of their project.

These ladies have really come up with some very interesting creations! Enjoy the picture show!

This was the fabric!

These are the projects completed with the fabric!

Shogun said...: I am completely amazed by their creativity. I think this would be a great competition for a quilt camp or TV show. I love the cat bed and the black cat doll. The quilt with the squares is beautiful (a la log cabin). The one with the flying geese and scrollwork is great. The bag with the big flower is wonderful. I could go on and on.; November 29, 2009 3:54 PM
