Designed by Beth Helfter, EvaPaige Quilt Designs, Teal Mini Swap is an annual event intended to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, funds for Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, and give quilters and sewers a fun little swap. I welcome Black Fabrics as my official sponsor this year, Blank has proven to be a leading voice for ovarian cancer awareness in the quilting industry and I am thrilled to have them aboard. They have donated a bolt of a lovely tone on tone teal fabric, and each participant will be given a piece to use in their project.
This year participants have a choice of making either a mini quilt (18" square maximum) or a mug rug (10" square maximum). Be sure to check your preference on the registration!
The cost to participate is $15 for US registrants, and $18 for Canada residents, of which $10 per participant will be donated directly to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund during the first week of September. The remaining funds will be used to offset administrative and shipping costs. I do apologize for having to charge our Canadian friends more, but I'm just happy to be able to officially include them this year!

The fine print: Unfortunately, there are two small caveats to participation.
Hit that cute little button down there to register! I'm excited to have you aboard!
