RAFFLE NOW CLOSED

When I petitioned Fabric Shopper readers and sponsors to donate items to be used for a raffle to help raise money for a community outreach program from my hometown, I was not prepared for the blessing that was about to be bestowed upon this cause.  We’ve gathered over $1,400 in raffle prizes!

I gave a little bit of the background of this community group here, but here is the hope for the funds raised through this event:

A Giver’s Craft Workshop ~ a full day event during which children in the community can come to the center and make hand crafted gifts for their families and friends.  It will be open to children of all ages, preschoolers to teens.  It is our hope and vision to not just give, but to enable them take ownership and involvement in giving as well.  We want to give them a safe and comfortable place to come, interact, and fellowship.  This event is just one of the many dreams and plans for the center.

Your help can make these dreams a reality!

Now on to the raffle!  The prizes are divided into 4 groups, loosely based on themes.  There are gift certificates, books, new fabric and supplies, destash fabric and supplies, and lots of patterns!  These prize packages are full of good gift ideas, too!
