Hey there folks.
I'l try to keep this as brief as possible, as I realize it's not entirely topical to the forums here and I've not been a regular for about a year now. Still, I figure there are folks here that remember the grumpy dorf and Cleric of Nacho, so it was worth a drop by.
Last june, I signed up to participate in a 545 mile bike ride for HIV/AIDS charity. I'll be riding from San Francisco to Los Angeles over 7 days. I signed up for this in honor of/memory of a friend I lost 2 years ago. That friend was the one that originally pushed me into looking at trying my hand at making quilts, so it only seemed natural that one of my fund raisers for this ride be to MAKE a quilt. The rules are simply: Raffle ends at midnight on my birthday (Feb 14th, this thursday). Every $50 in donations is considered an "entry". Multiple entries are permitted, but only in $50 increments...so $80 = 1 entry, $100 = 2.
I realize pennies are tight for a lot of folks, which is why I've tried to make my fundraisers at least have the potential to give something back as incentive.
For an example of my last finished quilt so you can get an idea of the style I use:
Winner will be announced February 15th. They get to pick the color scheme for the quilt and size (twin/double/queen).
Thanks for your consideration.
If you are interested, donations can be done here:http://www.tofighthiv.org/goto/alexdarke
Entries must be received by Feb 14th to be considered as part of the raffle.
