100+ Strangers, 10 Countries, One Incredible Bonkers Quilt!

My friend Annie from the Arty Farty Annie YouTube channel ‪@artyfartyannie‬ has just launched an incredible global charity campaign, and I am so proud to help her spread the word!

For over a year, crafters from 10 different countries have been sending in hand-stitched textile pieces. Annie has beautifully brought them all together into a massive, 2.5m x 1.5m piece of textile art.

The Big Auction:

On Sunday 8th November at 6:00 PM GMT, this spectacular textile masterpiece is going live for a 7-day eBay Charity Auction, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)!

How you can get involved right now:

Explore the Quilt: Annie's son Tom built a stunning interactive website where you can zoom into the fabric and read the unique story behind every single piece: bonkers.artyfartyannie.com

Buy a Keepsake: Want to support the cause? You can buy beautiful print-on-demand keepsakes via the website, with all profits going to MSF.

Donate Directly: You can track the campaign's progress and drop a small donation directly into their official Tiltify tracker on the site.

Please click the link to explore the quilt, save the auction date to your calendar, and share this post to help us raise as much as possible for global humanitarian aid!

A lovely little project that you can finish in half an hour to create a sweet little “love letter” using felt scraps and a button:
