Flood Appeal Auctions

Photobucket

THIS AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED- THANKS TO ALL OUR BIDDERS!

Cloud9 Fabrics is so saddened by the flooding in Queensland, Australia where whole communities have been devastated by the rising and raging waters. In order to help raise funds to help victims, we are participating in the Flood Appeal Auctions, spearheaded by Toni Coward of Make it Perfect. Our contribution is this My Happy Nursery lap quilt and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal.

5 Fat Quarters Quilt

Measuring approx 52"x52" (133cm x 133cm), is is made with 100% organic cotton fabrics and batting. The image shown above is not bound, but it is indeed completed with the same brown binding (see below). The backing is mostly brown with a 12" wide column of the same prints running vertically down the center.

If the auctions are not in your interest, but you can see it in your heart to donate even the smallest amount, you can do so through this link, too.

More auctions will be promoted and held until January 24th on Toni's blog, Make it Perfect. She's rallying craftspeople all over the world to help with the cause. Please stop by there on January 17th where she will compile a master list of auctions. Thanks so much in advance for your generosity.
