Stitch for the Diabetes Tree

September 20, 2010 by Denise Felton Leave a Comment

The Busy Needle invites you to join in the Diabetes Tree Fundraiser. The blog explains,

Here is how it works:

1. All year long we take donations of handmade ornaments from around the country and around the world and decorate a tree that is in the shop.

2. From Nov. 1 to Dec. 31st of each year, when someone makes a cash donation to the tree fundraiser they get to choose an ormament off the tree and also receive a pack of freebie charts donated by the designers to benefit our cause.

3. Donations are also accepted by mail. Send your check or PayPal to the shop and we pick an ornament off the tree for you and mail it to you along with the designer packet of freebie charts. Please include $2 for postage along with your donation for the fundraiser.

How can you help? By donating an ornament (flat finished preferred since so many are mailed out). WE NEED flat mailable ornaments.

Mail all donations to: The Busy Needle, 205 N. 3rd, Rogers, AR 72756. Donations can be sent to PayPal at: [email protected]

Spread the word! Post on your blog or message boards you visit. Encourage your favorite designers to participate in our efforts…and thank them when you receive the freebie packets!

Willy’s Gift by Stitchy Kitty Designs (shown here) was one of the designs in the 2009 Designer Packet.  Go to the blog post.
