THE GIVING TREE....is the special event fundraiser planned by the Fiber Arts Fiesta. The money raised will be donated to the JUVENILE DIABETES RESEARCH FOUNDATION. A life-size tree will be on display at the fiesta with Thimbleweeds providing 1000 pieced and quilted leaves on the tree. Attendees can donate $5 and receive a hand crafted item made by the co-sponsoring guilds of the Fiesta. Every $5 donation will be entered into the "secret" grand prize.
HOW CAN YOU HELP????
I am asking New Mexico Quilters to create and donate small hand-made gifts that will go along with each leaf that is "purchased" at Fiber Arts Fiesta 2011. Please bring to NMQA quilt meetings. Look for the purple donation bag.
Classes for the Fiesta are listed on the website: http://www.fiberartsfiesta.org/. It's not too early to sign up for classes. Don't forget the March 1st deadline for quilt entries for Fiesta. Quilt entry details are on the website.
Thanks for your help!

NMQA Fiber Arts Fiesta Representative
