We are again planning a fantastic display of fabric postcards from near and far during Quilt Show.  Postcards submitted for this special event will be sold and the proceeds will be donated to Wendy's Wish Appeal.

Wendy’s Wish Appeal is a project to support the St. Charles Cancer Treatment Center. Wendy’s Wish exists to provide education, promote early detection of cancer and offer affordable, compassionate emotional support to each individual’s personal journey.  Wendy’s Wish is named in honor of Wendy S. Huntley, a Central Oregon quilter who had breast cancer and ultimately passed away from colon cancer in the summer of 2006.  Direct contributions to Wendy’s Wish may be made to St. Charles Foundation – Wendy’s Wish, 2500 NE Neff Road, Bend, OR  97701

Postcards must be 4” x 6”.  Please provide us with your name, city and state information securely attached.  Please mail your card in an envelope.  Do not mail them directly as the purchaser may want them for that purpose.  Cards must be received by June 1, 2008.
