Cancer is an awful thing, and I would love to be able to help in some way in helping find the cure. The only way I can do that is by raising money for the cause, and I have chosen to do that through the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life.
The 2009 Relay year exceeded our expectations, and will be remembered by all of us as our best year yet. The new location of the event added to the Relay spirit and made such a huge difference to the excitement of Relay night. As far as the Delaware Quilts team, we blew our own socks off and achieved more than we even suspected we could, thanks to all of our very generous donors. We ended the 2009 Relay year with over $10,000!
But that year is over and we have moved on to Relay 2010. And since cancer is still hovering over us like a dark cloud, the Delaware Quilts team continues to fight. We need your help too, so please browse our mini Relay store and make a purchase to help us fight back against cancer.
I have donated all of pattern money to Relay and the American Cancer Society for many years, and I plan to continue doing that.
Just want to donate, click the donate button.
I promise all of your money will go to Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society. I'll even pay the PayPal fees!
Donate just $1 or as much as you want. Every dollar helps fight back against cancer!!

As a fun "adventure" in fundraising I have am offering on-line quilt mysteries as a way of thanking quilters for donations.
I have started a Yahoo Group, Mysteries For Relay, in which I will offer classes and mysteries
in exchange for contributions to my ACS web site. You will have to pay a $5 fee per class, or make an annual contribution of at least $30, to ACS
through me to participate in any class. If you would like to join, please visit Mysteries For Relay to sign up.

The next mystery will be held on Mother's Day… Mother's Day in the UK, March 13 and 14. (Relay is the weekend of Mother's Day here and I will be too busy to do a mystery)
AND I have decided, since we had to cancel the Spring Retreat, that we will do a Spring Retreat mystery. Starting on April 6th I will post clues daily, or more often if people are sewing and ask for them.
Below are some other items which I am offering for sale to help raise funds for ACS.

The American Cancer Society is The Official Sponsor of Birthdays and I have joined in their effort to make sure that there are more birthdays. How, by raising money to help fight cancer, that’s the only way I can! One way I am raising money is with these Making More Birthdays T-shirts.
There are several ways you can purchase a Making More Birthdays t-shirt, and I am offering a variety for you to choose from.
We have Delaware Quilts Making More Birthdays t-shirts, with the official Delaware Quilts logo on the back. Delaware Quilts is an official Relay For Life sponsor, and I’m quite proud of that. These are available in purple (100% cotton) and in Heather Red (50/50). Sizes medium to X-Large are $13 each, XXL and XXL are $16, plus postage.
You may also consider ordering a group shirt for your quilting bee. These ladies are in Arkansas. The Making More Birthdays shirts are being worn by quilters in Texas, New York, Ohio, Arkansas, New Jersey, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and of course Delaware.
Here is a link to a group t-shirt flyer if your group is interested.
Or if you prefer, we offer a plain t-shirt with just the Making More Birthdays logo on the front, and just the Relay For Life logo on the back. These are available in size medium to XL in navy, pink or purple and cost $13 plus postage.
ALL profit from the sale of these shirts goes to Relay For Life, every single penny. I deduct from the purchase price the cost of the shirts, postage and fees (PayPal) and every penny leftover goes to Relay. (Average donation per shirt is $5.50)
If you would like a Making More Birthdays T-shirt or have any questions, email me.

Who isn't a Fabricaholic? I think all quilters are, LOL!
This pin was designed for my Fabricaholics Anonymous Group
but I've decided to share them with anyone who is willing to admit they are a Fabricaholic. They are top quality gold plated, enameled
Cloisonné pins, with a standard lapel post and military clutch back and measure 1 1/4 by 5/8 inches.
Pins are $6.55 each which includes postage in the US. (Send me an email if you are out of country
for additional postage cost)
