Happy Quilting Group Fund Raising for Tsunami Victims in South Asia
Posted on: 1/6/2005
Recently, there were tsunamis appeared in South Asia. Happy Quilting Group members also want to help in this crisis. One of the member has initiated to start a charity sales in order to raise money for the victims. There are 63 members participated in this event by making and donating their own projects (mostly are coins bag) for sales. The pictures of the projects have been posted on Taiwan Yahoo Auction. In order to attract more people buying, the participated members even would pay for the shipping cost to the buyers as well. The raised fund will be wholly donated to Redcross Taiwan. Because the money would be transferred to Redcross Taiwan through bank so receipts would be provided as prove of donations. I really do hope that this charity sales would be in great success that can raise much more money for the victims in this Asia Tsunami.
| About me |
| In year 2001, I discovered that |
| there was a quilting TV Show |
| called "Simply Quilt" in HGTV |
| channel that inspired me to start |
| quilting. |
| It was not so easy in the process |
| of self learning but later I |
| discovered a magazine called |
| "Quiltmaker" which has a lot of |
| patterns that I can use from it. |
| At the year end of 2003, I |
| started to self-learning Chinese |
| typing then I discovered from |
| the internet that there was a |
| Taiwan quilting group called |
| "Happy Quilting Group" which |
| was organized by a lady |
| named May. |
| After joining the group then I |
| have made some small projects |
| i.e. cup, doll and tool bag etc. |
