I do three or four big fund raisers each year. I have been at this for two years. I take two card tables, two QOVs and my money box and go to community festivals. Often the organizers will not charge me for booth space owing to this project. (Local organizations also contribute when they learn about what I am doing.)

I speak to those attending these affairs, telling why these quilts are made and where they are going. I have a looseleaf binder with pictures of some of my quilts, replies and pictures of some of the recipients to support my asking for donations. Folks give me pocket change as well as the folding green. Without their help, I could not make these quilts. I always come home with several hundred dollars. All money is kept in a separate checking account and I do shop sales and use coupons.

When I got involved in this project, I prayed, asked the Lord for a design and asked that He support it. He has been faithful.

Still at War, Still Quilting, Suzanne
