and off they go

to their new homes. All the wonderful fabulous artworks were packaged up Monday, by my own self, and popped into the letter box. All the generous bidders should hope to have them in their hands VERY soon.



In my haste I speedily closed up each package, only to realise I had not included a letter of congratulations to the wonderful bidders.

So please accept this in its stead ...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for joining in, and caring enough to spend your money on such a worthwhile cause. This has been my first foray into fund raising, and at times it seemed a little tricky, but ultimately it is a very proud moment when the money is handed over. The folks at NBCF are so very gracious, accommodating and kind.

Thank you too, to Brenda Smith, who also generously shared her knowledge and time with some of the intricacies of the ever-so-tricky-to-me blog world.

Lastly, and without whom none of this would have been possible, a HUGE thank you to the 14 amazingly-talented quilt and textile artists, who did not even hesitate in saying yes when i invited them to participate. Thanks girls for so generously sharing your time and immense skill.

I have been extremely fortunate that breast cancer has not touched my life, nor anyone in my family or circle of close friends. Although, like most of us, I know women who have been affected. It is with a spirit of concern, a desire to support and an acknowledgement of just how vulnerable we all are, that I ventured into this fund raising project. So, to all who participated, thank you!!!

I look forward to an even bigger and better result next year! stay tuned!
