Kids quilt too!

Today we spent the day at the Westport Farmers Market. We sold tickets for the quilt raffle, made a quilt with the kids (and some grown ups!) to be sent to Japan with the money for Red Cross, and had purple basil lemonade from Peace Tree Desserts. They did such a great job, and never doubted the greatness of their work. Kids have no filter and are so good at being in the moment and getting lost in the task at hand. I learned a few things, to say the least.

Sis Boom Quilt Red Cross Raffle

This quilt was actually pieced together during Jennifer Paganelli's "Girls World" book signing last month, by all of her loyal fans. I just quilted it up and framed it with vintage cotton trim and it was ready for the raffle! So when Jennifer announced her one day fabric sale last Friday, we decided it was time to share. The tickets were only $1 each, and we had just one day to sell. We raised over $100. and the winner is Heide Mueller-Hatton, from Branford, CT! Lucky girl.Thanks to everyone who shared in this fundraising event! The money raised will be going to the Red Cross.

Posh pillow.

Our friend and Tim's super talented vocalist for Acoustic Wilton, Kim Troy, needed a pillow for her friend who evidently needs encouragement to do certain things and take chances. These are the words that Kim finds her self repeating on a daily basis, and thought a little reminder when she's not around wouldn't hurt.
"Just say yes!"
Her friend loved it, especially the black patent leather piping. She thought it would look great in her bedroom, but after reading it again, decided it might not be such a good idea! Looks like the living room will be it's new home.

* I will be raffling a quilt at the next Wilton Acoustic performance for Relay for Life on May 14th at Wilton High School. Their goal is to raise $15,000 for the American Cancer Society.*
