Relay for Life - Fundraiser
Need a gift for a special someone? Someone who has survived cancer? Someone graduating from high school or college? How about buying a quilt for yourself?! Just because. All proceeds go to the Relay for Life Fundraiser
(Pink and White) Relay for Life Sampler ~ 91” X 106” By Emily Walton and friends from Loving Stitches (quilt store) Valued at no less than $1045
Local ladies pieced blocks to create a basket for the Relay for Life 2006, Delta’s first American Cancer Fundraiser. Emily Walton pieced more than her share of blocks to contribute and then was the highest bidder for the basket. She paid $90.00 for the basket of blocks.
Emily spent the next several months preparing a quilt top. She assembled the blocks into a king sized quilt and gave it to Rose Edgren to quilt on Marsha Taylor’s long-arm quilting machine. Eddy Growden put the binding on as Emily was recovering from hip surgery in Fairbanks the following March. The quilt was donated in time for the Relay for Life 2007.
Fabrics (no less than $100) were donated from Loving Stitches and ladies who purchased the prints. Background print (approximately $20) was additionally donated from Emily Walton. Rose Edgren and Marsha Taylor / Alaskan Krafts contributed the commercial quilting ($270 for custom work). Marsha donated the batting ($25) and Rose donated the flannel backing ($40). Emily and numerous local quilters donated the many hours of piecing blocks and assembling the quilt top.
The Sampler is on display at Wells Fargo Bank until 3:00PM on Friday, May 11 and will be auctioned at the Relay for Life at 1:00PM on Saturday, May 12, 2007.
