Rusty Grove (detail)
My Rusty Grove was won in Virginia Spiegel's FiberArts For A Cause Reverse Auction this morning. I think I was a little bit in shock when told that it was taken at the Gold Donor level ($1,800) by an Anonymous Friend of FFAC. (As noted in an earlier post, 100% of the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.) I'm absolutely thrilled to have been able to contribute to the ASC's receipt of that sum, when there's no way I could have afforded that kind of cash myself. ART to the rescue! Thank you, Dear Anonymous Friend of FiberArts for a Cause, and thank you, Virginia and all her Helper Angels (you know who you are) who have made the over-$165,000 contributions (so far) possible.
Congratulations Linda!... wow, I can only imagine how you must have felt when you found out!
ReplyDeleteAnd for a cause so close to your own heart.
I am proud to 'know' you.... you are a support to a lot of people... and an inspiration!
Your work deserves this recognition.
