I grew up in Alabama and was shocked to see the utter devastation created by the tornadoes a few weeks ago that left more than 200 people dead and thousands without homes. Thankfully my family was not in the path of the tornadoes, but there are still many people who need help, as their lives will be forever changed by the events of that day. I think the news cycle kept moving and left the people of Alabama behind. With a costly clean-up and reconstruction effort that will take years, Alabama still needs help.
So, check out this great fundraiser that they are having on Stumbles & Stitches. For every $10 that you donate to the Salvation Army, you will get a chance to win one of 4 awesome prize packages from some of your favorite people in the sewing community like a $100 gift certificate from The Fat Quarter Shop, patterns from Oliver + S, adorable new fabric from Rashida Coleman-Hale of I Heart Linen, and more patterns, sewing books and fabric. I was happy to donate a copy of my book to the mix. So, get over there and enter to win. The instructions are clear and simple. So help out and win a prize. What could be better?
