Artfull Bras - Quilt Display


People's Building, Broad St., Charleston, SC

I thought the picture fit the wildlife weekend theme but the content is unrelated as usual although the topic is a bit wild. Marcia in Jackson, SC sent me this link to the quilters of SC project called Artfull Bras.

Wow! Talk about crazy quilting!

THE ARTFULL BRAS PROJECT

Members of Quilters of South Carolina have created one-of-a-kind bras for Breast Cancer Awareness. The exhibit consists of forty-nine original works of art which are unique, entertaining, humorous, and beautiful to make the public aware of breast cancer, to memorialize those lost to the disease, and to honor survivors.

This exhibit will tour SC until Oct '09 at which time individual Artfull Bras will be auctioned and the proceeds donated to the Best Chance Network, a program to provide care and treatment of uninsured women across the state who are diagnosed with breast and ovarian cancer.

The bras come prepared for display on their own hangers and are available for exhibit across the state of South Carolina. The exhibit is available until October of 2009. If you are interested in delighting and inspiring your organization membership, contact Sandra Baker, president of QSC at Sandra25@bellsouth.net

These are some crazy bras! I'd love this display to come to Charleston but this is the first I've heard of it. I've referred women to the the Best Chance Network before and know they are good folks and a cause worth supporting.

Those bras are amazing and so much fun! What a unique idea. If you don't mind, I'm going to do a link to them on my blog later in the week (you will get credit!)
