Happy Earth Day!
This weekend we are celebrating our Mother Earth, and raising awareness about what is happening to our planet. eQuilter is making several donations this weekend to conservation and environmental organizations, in addition to the 2 on our list of charities. (Ocean Conservancy and Rainforest Action Network)
With these donations, this brings our environmental donations to a total of $175,000 out of our overall total of $1.5 million.
In addition, I lead a tour to Churchill every couple years, to help raise awareness about the plight of the Polar Bears. My most recent quilt is called Polar Bear Eclipsed, and tells the story of the toxins that are circulating through the Arctic, which are causing genetic damage to the bears and further affecting their ability to survive. I stay in touch with Arctic researchers to learn more about what is happening there.
We know that many of you are working on your challenge quilts for the Love Your Mother contest and juried exhibit. The deadline is May 15 and we truly thank all of you who are contributing to this important project, to speak up for how we feel about our precious Earth.
Please join me in supporting your favorite environmental and conservation causes this Earth Day. If you want to check out various organizations, you can go to charitynavigator.org for ratings.
Big News: Internationally-known quilt artist Lea McComas is going to be teaching 2 workshops here in July...watch for all the details on Wednesday in the Midweek Creative Nudge email newsletter.
