Another raffle basket - "Sew Green" 11-17-11

Visions Art Museum (I always want to insert Quilt between Art and Museum!) will have a major fundraiser on Saturday, November 19th.  See the VAM newsletter for Fall 2011

The "Purple Passion" raffle basket for SQG was such fun to do that I decided to do a basket for the VAM auction.  Here is "Sew Green" which has a value of about $200.  I believe it will be part of the live auction along with some very nice quilts - and it is only one of dozens of baskets that have been specially prepared for this event.  So, if you are a quiltmaker or a quilt collector this could be a good opportunity to add to your 'fabric library' or your collection.

Among the green fabrics in the basket are fat quarters and half yards from the dye pots of Judy Robertson of Burlington, Washington.  http://www.justimagination.com/ A half yard of Marcia Derse designed fabric http://www.marciaderse.com/  Scraps and yardage from countries all over the world, along with a bag of cotton scraps and a bag of silk scraps (mostly from Talbot's Ties outlet in Carmel Valley).  There is more green fabric in half yard and fat quarter cuts, along with trims, ribbons, buttons, beads, spools of thread, candy, green Post-it notes, hand cream, soap and a bunch of other green stuff. 
 And when a stimulant is needed there is a Starbuck's mug and gift card.  
I hope any of you who live in SCalifornia will make the effort to attend this 2nd annual fundraising event to support the Visions Art Museum.  And if you can't go, why not become a member and lend yours support to this very important part of the quilting community.
