You to everyone who participated in Fabricana's

the first being a Baby Quilt Challenge.
Many beautiful and varied quilts were generously donated

of public voting, the following prizes were awarded. Each

would benefit from their prizes.

The second part of the Baby Quilt Event was a Silent
Auction of the donated quilts. All proceeds from the Silent
Auction were donated to B.C. Children's Hospital and we
are proud to say that, with the generous support of customers
and staff, we raised about $1,100.00
for this excellent and worthy cause.
Thanks again to all who participated in this event that
benefited the B.C. Children's Hospital and helped promote
the art of quilting by supporting our local quilt guilds.
We would also like to extend a special thank you to Jean
Jones, whose efforts made this event possible.
