ONE
We’ve all been touched by cancer, and as you probably know, I recently lost my 42 year old brother from complications of a bone marrow transplant.
Well, the indefatigable Virginia Spiegel is once again stepping up to make a difference. Since Virginia founded Fiberart For a Cause, fiber artists and their patrons have raised more than $205,000 for the American Cancer Society. This year’s special event is sure to be another winner. I am coveting several of the wonderful collages donated by some of the top names in fiber art!

Thank you, Virginia.
It was a battle of many years for my brother- a major reason I have been so grateful for you and FFAC!
