Since fiber art is both my vocation and my avocation,this seemed a perfect match for me. I was honored to be asked to contributeto the Invitational Reverse Auction, and delighted to accept,² said LindaTeddlie Minton."

For several years I have been donating fiberart postcards and 8" x 10" collage for fundraisers benifiting the American Cancer Society. We are all volunteers who donate our fiberart, I wasnt sure if I would have time to make something this year but after going to my Fiber Art Fusion meeting last night I decided to work more on a 8" x 10" piece I have started and submit it for consideration.

You can see last years submission at this link and if you scroll down to the bottom of page 3 is the one I submitted
