Having cancer is hard. Finding help shouldn't be.
No matter what you need, the American Cancer Society can help.

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.
This year’s event is over and we are pleased to say that the Delaware Quilts Relay For Life team raised another $10,000 in the fight against cancer. Thank you to
all the donors who made that happen! However, cancer is still around so we aren’t giving up yet. As they say “There is No Finish Line… Until We Find A Cure!” so we
will keep on raising money until that happens. If you would like to donate, please click the donate button below.

Mysteries For Relay

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 starts on July 17th!

Win A Featherweight!
PayPal policy does not permit raffle ticket sales, so to stay legal I will ask that you make your Featherweight donations either by check or payment on my ACS web site.
If you make a donation on the ACS site for the Featherweight raffle, please be sure to let me know by email that is what it was for. Checks can be made payable to ACS and sent to me at my address below.
I have more Featherweights than I have needed for any retreat for at least five years now, so I am giving one away to raise money for Relay For Life.
I have decided the machine which will be given away is Featherweight # AJ639485 which was manufactured on or about June 1, 1950 in Elizabeth NJ. While she isn't the most perfect looking Featherweight, she is nonetheless in tip top sewing condition. She almost purrs as she stitches along. She comes with her own Featherweight case which is also in good condition, although it does have a sticky button latch (right side) but does fasten.
A $1 donation gets you one chance to win, a $5 donation gets you six chances to win and a $10 donation gets you fifteen chances to win! Good luck and thank you for donating!
The new owner will be chosen on Valentine's Day 2011. I will split the shipping costs with that person, and the machine will be shipped using UPS.
(Checks can be mailed to Marge Gordon, 31357 Kendale Road, Lewes, DE 19958)

I have donated all of pattern money to Relay and the American Cancer Society for many years, and I plan to continue doing that.

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)
