Welcome to my Sample Sale! This time we are trying an auction, which several people had requested after the last sale.
All of the auctions have different ending times and I have tried to give variety for time zone/scheduling reasons. Domestic shipping (within the US) is free and shipping for international orders will be $30 flat rate.
The purpose of the Sample Sale is to put quilts in homes where they can get used and also to recoup some funds so I can restock necessities (batting, thread, etc.) so that I can keep writing patterns and tutorials!
This time around, I will also be donating a portion of the funds. There are an overwhelming number of places to donate, but I have decided to keep some of the donations local to me in places where I see on a regular basis and know that the funds will make a direct difference.
10% will go to the local music boosters program. This is an organization that I am involved in and it pays for so much (SO MUCH!) that the school doesn't cover to keep the music programs going. Our high school has a lot of income diversity and there a lot of very basic needs that the program helps fund.
10% will go to our neighborhood elementary school to help buy supplies for the new school year.
20% will go to United Way NWT. This is for the Northwest Territories in Canada that have ravaged by fires this year. I have been following the news as so many people have been displaced. The United Way is sending money to women's shelters, youth centers, Indigenous governments, and other organizations.
