If you are looking for a funny and moving book to give your friends for Christmas and at the same time contribute to a wonderful cause, consider "The ARTFUL BRA". This project, which started as a challenge issued to members of Quilters of South Carolina, the state quilting guild, was spearheaded by Sandra Baker, who at the time was president of the guild and went way beyond what Sandra had imagined. News of the exhibit spread all over the country and the guild received a number of requests to let it travel to different venues. Diane McLendon, editor at the Kansas City Star Books offered to record the project in a book: here is the write-up about the book on the Quilters of South Carolina website:
"Artful Bras ~~The Book
To raise awareness of breast cancer, 41 members of Quilters of South Carolina artfully decorated 50 bras, which became the ARTFUL BRA exhibit. After traveling the state of South Carolina for the past year, the exhibit is being presented in this delightful book – complete with the stories behind each entry, construction details and inspirations!
All proceeds from the traveling exhibit and sale of the book are donated to Best Chance Network to assist women who are without insurance or are underinsured and have been diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer and undergoing treatment.
Price is $24.95 plus $4.05 first class
USPS shipping and handling."
