In honor and Memory of Carmen Rodriquez
Collage Mania, a Fiberart For A Cause fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, opens today, May 5, at 10:00 a.m. CDT. Check out the official clock on the first page of the collages if you are wondering what time that might be in your time zone.
Remember it’s first come/first serve, not highest bidder. Today’s minimum donation to the ACS is $80. If you are able to add even an extra $1, it will make a difference in how much we raise. All the directions of how to acquire collages during Collage Mania are here.

All of the activities of Fiberart For A Cause during the last four years have been a labor of love for me as they are done in honor of my Dad, Bob Spiegel. He is a fifteen-year a colon cancer survivor. Fiberart For A Cause is part of the Forest Lake, MN Relay For Life, a grassroots fundraiser for the ACS, chaired in admirable style by my sister, Nancy Spiegel Rosman.
I thank Karen Stiehl Osborn for making the Collage Mania pages (all 39!) happen and many other selfless tasks, our Honorary Chair Karey Bresenhan, and most of all, the 161 artists who donated their artwork to Collage Mania and you, the patrons, who support both fundraising and the fiberarts. Today promises to be a fun and exciting day!
Antonija – Yes, I love my java! Thank you for your support. This is the last year for all the big fundraisers for Fiberart For A Cause, but Friends of FFAC may be hosting fundraisers from time to time and I will certainly be promoting them here.
Thank you for all your work on Collage Mania. Your quilts are wonderful–and I can tell you are a fellow coffee lover. I plan to pick up two of them, and next year I’ll be sure to donate a piece. Take care!
