Here is another worthwhile fundraising
project looking for online donations.
The Texas Quilt Museum is in need of a high tech projector and screen to
use for educational programs. They are
almost at their goal and there is only a
short time left to donate. Any amount is welcome. Hope you can help out. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/texas-quilt-museum

MAKE A LEGO SEWING MACHINE
Carrie at SuchDesigns is one smart cookie. While playing with her kids she figured out how to build a sewing machine out of LEGO pieces. It is so cool! If you have LEGOs hanging around the house, here are her directions.
Note that in the directions there is a link to encourage the LEGO Company to kit this design. I think it would be a riot to have Lego sewing machine kits to make.
Please encourage the Lego Company to make the sewing machine into a kit. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/18230#
Go in through FB so you don't have to create a user account.
Click browse and support other's
projects. Search for "sewing
machine". When the page completely
loads you'll see another green SUPPORT box to click in the upper right hand
corner. That's it. My
"SUPPORT" click brought the total to 195—pretty pitiful for all us
quilters out there. Let's make some noise! Support the LEGO sewing machine, and
ask your friends to support it too. Pedal to the metal, quilters. Carrie at SuchDesigns is one smart cookie. While playing with her kids she figured out how to build a sewing machine out of LEGO pieces. It is so cool! If you have LEGOs hanging around the house, here are her directions.
