Fiberart For A Cause (FFAC) is underway for 2009.  I’ve just sent images for three 8 X 10 inch quilts to go on sale May 5th through 7th.

Under the direction of Virginia Spiegel, in just three years, Fiberart For A Cause (FFAC) has donated more than $165,000 to the American Cancer Society.   FFAC is striving to surpass the $200,000 mark this year.  By purchasing one (or more) of the hundreds of fiber collages and art quilts, you can help achieve this goal.  100% of the money raised goes directly to the American Cancer Society!

Gold donor day will be on May 5th, where for an $80 donation (or more if you wish), you can receive your own little work of fiber art.  On May 6th and 7th, remaining works will be available for a donation of $40.

Here’s the three quilts that I donated.  I hope you like and I HOPE you’ll buy!

Overseas

Imported, commercial and hand dyed fabrics.  Recycled, painted and distressed wrappers.  Various beads and cinnamon sticks.  Machine quilted.

Fossil

Rust treated commercial cotton, and synthetic fabrics.  Machine quilted and bead embellished.

Refuge

Commercial cotton and synthetics, some rust treated and highlighted with Shiva paint sticks.  Machine quilted and bead embellished.  Toy pig (for a chuckle!).

Preview of all the collages and quilts donated to FFAC will begin on April 29th.  A link to the preview and sale will be available at that time through http://www.virginiaspiegel.com/CollageMania2009.html.  Be sure to mark your calendar, computer and phone timers, and tell everyone you know about this fun way to support the American Cancer Society.  Remeber 100% of your donation is tax deductible and goes directly to the American Cancer Society.
