(Posted on the Quiltart List this morning)<\/p>\n

Folks, I hate to ask for money worse than I hate snakes. (And I
\nreally,
really don't like snakes!) But sometimes the cause is just so good
\nthat you
have to overcome your hesitation and just ask. And so I am asking.
\nThe Texas
Quilt Museum, a cause near and dear to my heart, needs to get
\na
state-of-the-art digital projector and large retractable screen so we
\ncan
use Gallery II as the lecture, film, seminar setting it's turned out to
\nbe
perfect for. But since we have no way to project anything in this
\ngallery,
or to show a teacher's slides, etc., we can't make the best use of
\nthe space
and we end up turning away educational opportunities that lots of
\nquilters
would enjoy. <\/p>\n

We're trying the new "crowdfunding" method where you go
\nonline
and ask for a little bit of help from a lot of people. We're using
\nIndiegogo
and trying to raise $7000 by midnight April 9. We've raised  $4125
\nas of
today, but that last $2875 is going to be tough.  Lots of people you
\nknow
from QuiltArt-like Frances Alford and Leslie Jenisen-have made
\ndonations
(God bless them!) and I'm hoping that you will want to help
\ntoo.<\/p>\n

Now I really do know this list. I may not post all the
\ntime, but I read.and
I know that money is not just burning a hole in most of
\nyour pockets! But I
also know you have generous hearts and you love to help
\npeople. So I am
asking for your generosity and your help. You don't have to
\ngive $100 (o be
still my heart!) to be part of this project. You can give
\n$10…$25.$50 or
any amount you want. And any amount will help.  Just go to
\nthe link below
and take it from there. We even have neat little thank you
\ngifts for
donations of $25 and more!<\/p>\n

I'm
\nnot in the habit of asking for help. Most of you know that about me. I'd
much
\nrather offer it.in the form of great shows, special exhibits you can be
part
\nof (remember the Journal Quilt Project, she says modestly), etc. But
this
\ntime I can't do it all myself! So please help.  Thanks!<\/p>\n
