BREAST CANCER SHOWHOUSE QUILT

I had the great pleasure of working with two friends on this quilt for our local Breast Cancer Showhouse Committee. This quilt (a queen) will be raffled off during the Showhouse run this Fall. For those of you not in our area: The Showhouse is a project that highlights a specific home, usually new construction or an older mansion on the Lake) brings in several interior designers to "do" rooms and then opens the house to visitors to raise money for cancer research at the Medical College of Milwaukee...all monies go directly to research!

Last year a good friend made a simple quilt which I had the pleasure of quilting for her. It was offered as a "boutique" item. Though the quilt made a good piece of change, Ellie decided if we made a larger quilt, funded by our North Shore Quilter's Guild and raffled it we could make more! So here we are today: The quilt was accepted by the Showhouse as a raffle item, tickets will be printed shortly and the quilt will be a raffle item displayed in the House. Good news for everyone involved in the project!

The quilt is a queen, 100% cotton with cotton batting. It is machine pieced and long armed quilted. It has 3-D yoyo flowers with button centers. Truly a whimsical quilt! If you are interested in purchasing tickets please just drop me an email!
