I wanted to share information with you about a blog I happened upon in my bloggy travels called Bloggers Without Borders. Quoting from the blog:
Bloggers without Borders has been created to do these things:
- To create a platform (through our website, blog and social media platforms) which allows bloggers to promote charitable events and projects and connect them with bloggers who want to get involved.
- To offer advice and support to bloggers want to start projects.
- To respond to the need in our own community (and beyond) by fundraising for specific causes as and when the need arises.
- To use our platforms to raise awareness about chosen social issues through targeted campaigns.
It has occurred to me as my quilts accumulate, that I could auction them to raise money for certain causes. Bloggers without Borders would give me a platform to be able to do that. They are just getting under way, and so their causes are limited at this point. Currently, they are featuring A Fund For Jennie to raise money for a family that just lost its husband/father.
I can see a wonderful future for this site, and so I'm spreading the word. See for yourself using the link I've provided.

Barbara, I went to see the blog, and this looks like a good organization. Let me know if you auction one of your quilts, cos I would like to spread the word by mentioning it on Lilypadquilting, and help out.
Thanks for the heads-up on BWOB. Sounds like they're off to a good start.
