I often receive requests from people who would like to make a quilt from one of my patterns and donate it for a good cause. I received such a request from Annie Miksch from Washington State. I am always happy to grant such permission and only ask that the source of the pattern be included on the label and that it is being used with permission.

Annie wanted to use the Spinners pattern from my book, 40 Bright & Bold Paper-Pieced Blocks, to make a quilt to be auctioned of as a benefit for hr Island’s non-profit nursing home/assisted living facility. Annie wrote, “…I specifically chose one of your patterns because I knew it would have widespread appeal and look very precise thereby enabling me to raise far more money for the Care Center than I could otherwise afford to give them.”

 

Annie wrote recently to let me know the auction had ended and that her quilt had raised one of the highest dollar amounts.

 

Annie wrote, “It is appropriate that the name of the auction was “A Labor of Love” because it truly was!”

Thank you Annie for sharing your beautiful quilt and love.

All the best,

Carol
