2010 Ronald McDonald House Raffle Quilts! Photos Updated 3/5

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!

I love the jelly rolls and layer cakes. It's a way to get a whole line of lovely fabrics without paying an arm and a leg. And if you get some of the patterns specially for these, you'll see there are lots of great quilts you can make from them.

I love jelly rolls and charm packs. Like Susan, I like that I can get a variety of colors/designs from the same line at a reasonable price. Sometimes the prices can be a bit high though.

I love all the pre-cuts because they are just that...pre-cut..cuts my sewing time in half. Even though I own a quilt shop I still buy all those great pre-cuts from other quilt shops and the price doesn't make me run because it saves me time and when you have very little time to sew every minute saved is worth the cost.

The lone desenter so far...I don't even like FQs much. If I were planning a string quilt, I might purchase the jelly rolls...but not at that additional cost. Some of those cuts come out costing $10 or more per yard.

love them! but Ihave not done much with them. Just small projects. I got my first layer cake recently and am really excited to see how big that thing realy is. I had some charms before, yeah decent, but those layer cakes are HUGE! 10X10 is a LOT bigger than 5X5 hehe
