Haitian Relief Sampler Project
Dear Fellow Embroiderers :
We have all been following the news and , I am sure , have seen the devastation in Haiti . As with Katrina , and the tsunami , we stitchers band together.
Eileen Bennett has graciously donated the chart for her class piece “Colonial Band Sampler” to Valeri’s guild to raise funds for Doctors Without Borders . Their facilities have all but been destroyed in the quake ,so they will need everything to help the Haitian people.
If you already have this chart , please consider a donation anyway . Even tho Valeri has instigated this , it is not a Legacy Guild project and the funds collected will be donated in the name of Embroiderers United (unless we can come up with a better name - she is open to suggestions) , not Legacy . So please pass this info on to your friends , your guilds , LNS’ , blogs , fellow overseas embroiderers etc. Everyone is welcome to take part. Let’s make a difference ! And a huge thank you to Eileen , for making this possible !
If there are any other designers who wish to join in , she would be more than happy to offer a selection .
The verse is fitting - “There is no set path , Follow your heart “, You may donate any amount you wish , but for a minimum donation of $15.00 , Valeri will send you a PDF of the chart , instructions and color picture. In their past disaster relief projects , they have found that Paypal is the easiest way and her account is:
samplar101 @ aol . com ( remove spaces)
Once you make your donation , she will receive an invoice and will send your chart to the email given . Please make sure you let her know if you wish to receive it to another email address. This has happened in the past , someone donates from their office computer , but wishes to receive at their home computer , so she has no problem with that .
Once again , thank you all for your concern and generosity !

I’ve sent Valeri my donation by paypal
I also sent Valeri my donation by paypal.
I tried to send money to the address given and paypal said it was not a valid email and yes, I took out the spaces.

What a wonderful gesture. I’ve already donated to Doctors Without Borders, and I am being VERY strict with myself not to buy ANYTHING new until I get some things finished, so I won’t be getting this, but it is a beautiful piece and I admire Eileen’s generosity.
I’ve been away from my blog, my blog reading list, and my stitching for a very long time. Feels good to be reading here again. Now I just have to get back to working on and studying my Spanish so I can go back to the forum. Take care, Aury!
