Quilters For Ukraine - Quilt Demos To Support United Help Ukraine

Ten of the best teachers on the planet are joining Joe Cunningham for a lightning round of quilt demos to support United Help Ukraine. It will be a fun day like no other, with lots of great tricks, tips, and techniques. You don't want to miss this. Most of these 10-15 minute segments will be recorded and available if you can't make the class.
 
 
"I make my living by promoting my own classes and events selling quilts and pretending like these things are REALLY important. This summer I was scheduled to have a show at a museum in Kyiv, which I have been talking up for a couple of years. Now, though, everything else seems a little pathetic compared to the war in Ukraine. For the first time I have friends who were living much like me, going to the mall, making art, having dinner parties, and who now post videos of their homes and cities being bombed out of existence. I am scared, furious, sad and dumbfounded. To feel like I was doing something, I have organized a benefit for a great organization called United Help Ukraine--see below--and we have already raised over $10,000. But it seems like such a small gesture. And still, our lives here have to go on, we have to be able to look away from the horrors of it all, just like our Ukrainian friends could do a couple months ago, and get on with our lives. So I will go ahead and try to promote my classes and etc, which, if they continue to be successful, will allow me to also continue making contributions to the people affected by this nightmare.

Have signed up and hope to be there but good to know that I will have access afterwards if something crops up unexpectedly. A great initiative, thanks to all concerned.

Yes - sounds like a great idea, but before publicizing to my guild I'd like to know who the money actually goes to, and what percentage of the money raised. Please let us know.

Surely you did not mean to the Russians. These funds will go to help Ukrainians. A quick google search for the mentioned charity shows an 87% rating thru Charity Navigator. https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/471837509

I’m wondering too. It’s sounds like a fun way to make money for the cause, but I’d who the money actually goes to and how much of it.
