AQ Workbook Yahoo Group Quilt #1

Since mom teaches the classes here at the shop on the book it is quite hard for me to jump on in and join the class. I decided to join a group that was working through it online. The members are all from the Quiltart list wnd were also looking for a little reassurance from others as they worked through the book. We are going to work through chapter by chapter!! First up....deciding on a theme to make a series. I decided on leaves. I've been so into trees lately that I didn't want to do that but leaves are the next best thing!! So here is my first quilt in the series of leaves.

BRA Auction

The Brazenly Radiant Art Auction raised $1100 for breast cancer. There are remaining items that are still able to be acquired. They are in the display case in the shop and will remain there until all items have been acquired or our next fundraising event. So if you are able to donate at a later time stop on by the shop and see the art.

Pieces up for preview NOW!!

You can view all of the pieces up for auction for Brazenly Radiant Art at http://www.fiberonawhim.com/gallery.html. Here are just a few of the many beautiful ones that can be had for a $40 donation to It's the Journey Inc/Atlanta 2-Day Walk which supports awareness, research, and support of breast cancer. Auction opens on June 16th at 10AM EST.

Thanks to all of you who donated work. Thanks in advance to all of you who plan on acquiring a piece tomorrow!! We greatly appreciate your generosity for this great cause.

Brazenly Radiant Art Preview Opens Tomorrow!!

All the donations will be up for preview tomorrow by 2PM EST. The auction will then open on June 16th at 10AM EST. There are so many beautiful items that I've been drooling all day. I promise none got on the artwork!! Remember that these pieces will be available both online and in-house......simply a matter of who speaks for it first. If I get a rush of emails at 10AM before anyone makes it in the door they are sold to online or vice versa so be ready. Karla is coming in to help on Monday so we will be glued to the computer and the display case in order to keep everything running smooth. Once again these items up for auction will be won by the first person that speaks for the item and pledges a minimum $40 donation. You will then receive an email from me notifying if you won the item or not. That email will include instructions on how to make an online donation to It's the Journey, Inc/Atlanta 2-Day Walk or how to get us a check for the donation.

Thanks again to all of you who made pieces!! Now all we need to do is get the bidding of to a fast start......lol!

Talk with ya'll tomorrow.
