Where do I start?  I thought I would do a little fundraiser – - two Tuesdays, ten totes, maybe raise $1000 for the American Cancer Society.

Well!  Thanks to generous sponsors and donors, we now have over thirty totes listed with the actual number of sponsored totes in-progress approaching fifty. Here are the latest totes added to the list:

Fabric To Dye For (Frieda Anderson)
Collect Your Dreams (Diana Welte)
Share Your Art! (Franki Kohler)
Think Pink (Sandra Baker)
Studio Time (Peggy Schroder)

A list of all the totes to date with a brief description and links is here.

I’m Tweeting about basically nothing except ToteTuesday at least from now until February 2, so that is a good place to find all the latest news.

Last, but certainly not least, I must express my special thanks to Peggy Schroder.  She is working overtime to make ToteTuesday a success.  She volunteered (and is doing a stunning job) to track all the individual donations for ToteTuesday as well as to contact fiber-related businesses who she knows would like to support our fundraiser. She is conceptualizing many wonderful themed totes featuring these donations, taking enticing photos of the contents for the auction, and making plans to ship everything out to the lucky winners,  Oh, and did I mention she is also doing her own series of “Have A Heart” totes with artwork and other donations from the “Big Names” in the art quilt world?  She is a tote-diva!
