Due to the unprecedented nature of the effects of Hurricane Helene, the Quilt Alliance lost many of their paper records, quilts, exhibition and documentation equipment, and supplies due to flood damage to their storage space in Asheville, NC. Due to this loss, the Quilt Alliance will take some time to get back on its feet, but is already making strides to get there. Please consider donating to their 2024 Giving Quilt, which will go towards maintaining and improving access to projects like QSOS, Go Tell It, and so much more in the recovery effort.
From The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles: "Our Museum is in a very perilous financial position and we need your help. We must raise $300,000 by June 30, 2024 to continue operating. Of that, we need to bring in $100,000 as soon as possible. Please be our Champion, and make a gift today to SAVE THE MUSEUM."
From the National Quilt Museum: "Make a donation to The National Quilt Museum’s Matching Funds Campaign before January 31, 2024, and Moda Fabrics will double your impact! That’s right, there is still time to have your donation matched. Your generous support will help us continue our mission to honor today’s quilter and inspire future quilters with exceptional exhibitions, education, and programming."
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday and our editor-in-chief and Organize Your Living Space author, Lilo Bowman, is hosting a Ukrainian family of three (mother, son, and grandmother) in her home. To help get them on their feet, a GoFundMe fundraiser has been started to provide for the family support. If you are able to help out during this time, consider donating and supporting a worthy cause for this Giving Tuesday.
