Once again I am partnering with my husband as he runs the Susan Komen Race to help fund finding a cure for Breast Cancer. To help him meet this goal this year I am offering to longarm quilt up to 10 quilts for a minimum pledge for $20, but more will gladly be accepted!
Please read the details carefully and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This opportunity is only open for 10 quilts and I will be assigning numbers as the pledges come in and posting updates on my blog as I near the total.
I will accept quilts no bigger than 60x42 and you must include the backing fabric and the batting with your quilt top. The quilt top and back must be pressed and ready and the batting must be either cotton,wool or thin poly ( no puffy stuff!) I will select thread for the project from my selection of King Tut or other Superior threads including monofilament. The backing thread will be a solid color offered in the SuperBob collection. I will edge to edge quilt in a freehand all-over stipple, floral stipple, or twirly swirl depending on the style of the quilt top. I WILL NOT put on biding (I am crazy, not insane)
If you are shipping the top/batting/backing to me please enclose a check for equal postage so I can send the quilted piece back to you! My goal is to have each quilt in and out the door in less than a week, but depending on how many quilts I get in it could be 2 weeks so please be patient and I do promise to keep you updated as to the status of your quilt.
To register your quilt in the que contact me at maddie6@bellsouth.net and I will assign you a number, you will then log on to my husband's race page to fund your donation ( remember $20 or more) to my husband’s run at which time I will send you your confirmation and form to fill out and send/deliver with your quilt.
Questions? Feel free to call me at my studio 423-364-2971 or email me at maddie6@bellsouth.net
Don’t have a top to quilt but have an embroidery machine? Check out www.freshstitches.blogspot.com for my other fundraising efforts this year!
just sent you an email, hoping I'm in time to join your quilt-for-a-cause queue!!
ReplyDeleteDo you really have an AccuQuilt, or do you just post on the AccuQuilt FB page for free PR?

ReplyDeleteI decided that Maddie is much more diplomatic than I am, and clearly does not need my help upbraiding anonymous commenters. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway Maddie - love what you are doing with this & hope it raises a ton of money for charity! Since my garage sale yesterday, I'm feeling a little flush, so I hope I can own one of the original Sir Lancelot & Maddie collaborations. :)
Well I might not ~need~ help but always appreciate it :)

Thanks for helping such a worthy cause! We will all be touched by Breast Cancer sometime in our life's. It could be a family member, friend, neighbor,or our self & finding a CURE can only happen when we all get involved!
ReplyDeleteI have several quilt tops that I need quilted! You can do 1 or 5! Let me know!
Hi Vickie, how about we start with 1 and see what I have room for from there?.. The Quilt for the cure flyer goes out locally tomorrow and I am already filling the slots faster than I thought i would! :)
