We raised $400 with a quilt I donated for kids!
There's an organization growing around our area that helps feed school-aged children who don't have anything to eat in the afternoons and weekends, called Sacks of Love. I found out about this thru my chiropractor who was trying to raise donations of money, but nobody was noticing the little white bucket sitting there. So I asked him about trying to sell chances for a quilt that I would donate (I had just finished one). It's a cheater fabric, and I'm still learning to long-arm quilt, but everybody just had to touch it and comment on it. We raised $400 at $1 a ticket, right before Christmas for this cause, and I'm so happy I could help. Here's the winner, Tim, who bought about 80 tickets, and me. He was there waiting to claim "his" quilt, and we all laughed at him, but when I drew the winning name, I couldn't believe it was his. Anyway, he grabbed it off the wall, and you can see he's happy with it.

Yours is a wonderful story of generosity multiplying. Knowing you had donated the quilt probably motivated Tim to be so generous in his purchase of tickets. Now your chiropractor is encouraged from the community support, and the program will grow to benefit many children.
Both you and Tim look great!
