TOTE TUESDAY

TOTE TUESDAY ACS FUNDRAISER

Themed totes for those who love
quilts, beads, fabric and fiber.

Unique, Beautiful and Inspiring.

Beginning Tuesday, February 2
100% to the ACS through FFAC

Virginia Spiegel is continuing her dedication to raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Virginia’s  committment is contagious and this year the fundraiser  included totes filled with all sorts of donated goodies for fiber artists.

ToteTuesday, a Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, will open Tuesday, February 2 and continue through March.  It’s a fundraiser AND a showcase for everything that is fun and creative about the fiber arts.

ToteTuesday will feature themed totes filled with unique, beautiful, and inspiring items from the worlds of fiber arts, knitting, art quilting, mixed media and surface design.

You can expect totes offering original artwork, autographed books, hand-dyed fabrics, discharged, rust-dyed and painted fabrics, beads, gorgeous yarns, handmade journals, fun and useful materials/tools for mixed-media and surface design, certificates for online classes and much, much more.

Themed totes will include either a re-usable purple Relay For Life (the ACS’s biggest grassroots fundraiser) tote or a custom-made one.

There will be an auction from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. every Tuesday with a required opening bid with additional bids requested in $10 increments.  There will also be a Go for the Gold! price if you can’t wait to own the tote AND want to be a champion supporter of the ACS.  Any donation you make above the retail price is (upon advice from your accountant, of course) tax deductible.  All donations will be made by credit card to the ACS through the FFAC donation page.  You will receive an immediate receipt.  All shipping is FREE to buyers.

You can check out some of the tote themes on Virginia’s blog. Some of the totes will include a selection of my fabrics. Be sure to join in on the fun starting February 2!
