Carol & Evelyn in QFAC booth
What a weekend for Quilt for a Cause, Inc. at the Tucson Quilt Fiesta, 2009. Carol Zupancic’s gorgeous booth design captivated the interest of show visitors. Quilts made from the pattern “Scraphunter’s Star”, designed by Evelyn George, were showcased along with several donated quilts for the upcoming Silent/Live Auction on October 3, 2009 at the Tucson Medical Center. With energizer bunny Carol’s enthusiasm and Evelyn George signing the Scraphunter’s pattern that she designed, close to 100 of the patterns sold within the first day. A quick reprint was done with another 100 being sold the next two days. The pattern is now into its fourth printing. Catalina Quilting has made kits from “Scraphunter’s Star” for shows at which they are vendors.
Lots of QFAC collectible pins and tickets to the Calendar Girls Fashion Shows were also sold. Contact Dorothy Lee (info@quiltforacause.org) or Evelyn George (quilter4ever@cox.net) for patterns, Carol Zupancic (cdzup@wbhsi.net) for information on the Calendar Girls Fashion Shows, and Jeannie Coleman (auction@quiltforacause.org) for QFAC pins.
The Quilt for a Cause banner, designed by Jennie Jim, made its debut in the booth. The banner will be prominently displayed at forthcoming events.
Thanks to the Tucson Quilters Guild for providing this space to Quilt for a Cause.
