The Alliance for American Quilts wants to make sure every quilter and quilt lover knows about its "Quilters Take Manhattan" fundraisers in NYC this summer. There are three separate events on the schedule.The main program--a celebrity-filled afternoon on Saturday, August 6,2010---will feature presentations by Marianne Fons and her daughter Mary. In addition, there will be a live interview with Project Runway winner, Jay McCarroll, for the Alliance's oral history project, Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories. The event will be held at F.I.T. (Fashion Institute of Technology), and will include food, goodie bags, amazing door prizes, demos, and a silent auction.
Here's the scoop: tickets are on sale now at the Alliance website (www.AllianceforAmericanQuilts.org), with special discounts for early birds. But that's not all: anyone who becomes a member of the AAQ before June 23 (for as little as $25) is eligible to win two free tickets to "Marianne & Jay on the Runway," plus a free hotel room that night in NYC's famed Garment District. The winner will be announced on the AAQ website on June 24. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a special day (and night) in The Big Apple and to support a wonderful, non-profit organization with your membership.
Note to current Alliance members: If you already are an Alliance member, your name automatically is included in this drawing!
