SCA (Spinal Cerebellular Ataxia) Fundraiser

                             Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia Fundraising Event

The event you've all been waiting for is officially starting.

In a nutshell,  I felt a "calling" to invest my Covid relief check in fabric and in having some items quilted professionally followed by a fund raiser for Spinal Cerebellar Ataxia research.

My plan is simple.  Since most of these items are one of a kind, it will be on a first come, first serve basis.  You may contact me directly (rjnystrom@gmail.com) or just fill in the contact information on my blog to let me know what you're interested in before you donate and I will reserve it for you for a few days.  Once the donation has been received, The National Ataxia Foundation sends me an email letting me know money has been donated as a tribute to me (not in my Memory) and I'll mail the item.

I've posted the National Ataxia Foundation (ataxia.org) link and you'll see how easy it is to hit the DONATE button on the top right.  I'm collecting no money so please be sure to handle your donation this way but do send me your contact so I can mail the stellar item.

I'm doing this in memory of my baby sister, Rosie, who passed away last August.  Although she died from cancer, the SCA1 took its toll on her body.

I have moved the unsold items to the top and discounted them.  If I can sell these I should be able to reach an unbelievable donation amount.  I will post this once the fundraiser is complete.

 I made this quilt, Thru the Years on a quilting cruise.  The center square has buttons so you can replace the center with the four holiday attachments.  Very cute for a more rustic environment.  This wall hanging is 40" x 40" and has a hanging sleeve sewn on the back.  I'm now asking for a $150 donation.  A real deal.

This wall hanging I named American Star and it is 33" x 33".  It has a hanging sleeve and I'm asking for $50 minimum.  sold

I made this darling table topper on my embroidery machine.  It's hole in the center leaves room for a vase, a candle or whatever your heart desires.  The vase isn't included.  I'm asking a $35 minimum donation.

This throw is extra long for that tall person in your life.  It's 50" x 79".  It will fit the length of a twin bed but is a little short of the sides.  A great throw with a flannel backing.  I am asking for a minimum donation of $200 for this quilt.

Jungle Babies is by far my favorite quilt.  I've actually made two of these.  One with a baby leopard and one with a baby lion (the other two babies remain the same).  This quilt is 43" x 50 1/2".  I'm asking for a $200 donation and will sew on a hanging sleeve if you prefer.   The leopard quilt (above) has a flannel backing.    2 sold 

Coastal Waters is a fabric line I fell in love with.  This quilt is perfect as a throw if you're a beach loving person.  It is 81" x 58" and I'm asking a minimum donation \of  $300.

Sold 

Sloan Square is a queen sized quilt (101" x 78").  This seems to be the gem everyone visiting my home wants so I doubt it will stick around too long.  I'm asking $400 minimum donation for it.  It was made from a kit and professionally quilted by Bonnie Troth (like most of my large quilts).  sold

Peeping Babies is another baby quilt I made previously and could never part with.  It's a lovely baby quilt with a flannel backing.  I machine embroidered all the animals just like the Jungle Babies quilt.  This quilt is 37 1/2" x 46".  I'm requesting a minimum donation of  $150. SOLD 

Hunter's Star is an old quilting favorite.  This queen sized quilt is 78" x 85" and I'm also asking for a  $400 donation. Sold

What would a quilters sale be without Microwave Bowl Holders.  I've used nothing but 100% cotton for the fabric, thread and batting (a must to avoid any fires in the microwave).  I made 10 and am asking a minimum donation of $12.  all sold but can make more if requested.

These are the final two items I've made.  The leaves table runner was the most difficult thing I've ever made and obtained the title "The Cursing Quilt"  When I received it back from my quilter I couldn't believe it was the same item.  It's going to be difficult to part with.  If you have a large dining room table this is a perfect (20 1/2" x 58") size.  I'm asking a $65 donation and guarantee you'll love it. sold

The USA table runner is 19" x 47" and, for some reason, doesn't photograph well.  I've had a hard time keeping hold of it for my sale...everyone wants this one.  I'm asking for a $50 minimum donation. sold

  

Three items are missing because early buyers wouldn't take "no" for an answer.
