Art won at Auction; Neckties on Parade!

KJ has a charity she is raising money for...one of her clients in need of financial support. Annie Coe held an auction to raise money for KJ's charity. I entered the auction and won this delightful painting by Annie Coe! Thank you Annie. And if you'd like to contribute to KJ's charity go here. See KJ's side bar for place to DONATE. ******************
I have collected 31 neckties and will soon start to turn these beautiful silks and cotton ties into
something quiltable!
I found them at thrift stores and paid from $1-$2 a piece for them.
A real deal! Let the wild rumpus begin! Looking for last minute gifts? Check out my ETSY on my sidebar. All prices have been reduced for better buys in the spirit of the season! ;-)

  3. You are really getting a huge collection going! How fun is this??? Can't wait to see what you will make with it. Oh...I am taking my DIL to the mall, so will get a pic of the clothes at that one store I told you about. I thought of you yesterday at a small art gallery where the artists were so enthusiastic...just like you...and so encouraging to me!!! Thank God for you lovely artists out there!!!

  8. Cris, it is, Annie's art is awesome! So happy to own more of it. ;-))) Pendants and now this wonderful piece to hang on my wall.

    Marianne, thanks. DH and I walked across some wet leaves on the rainy sidewalk and he started to exclaim in a joking way: "Oh I see a quilt here!" knowing that I would see it as ART and he was right, I did!!!! Was sorry I didn't have my camera with me.

    Julie, sweet on all counts!!!!

    Lisa me too. Am deconstructing them first...this is a time consuming process...

    So we are all waiting, including me, to see what these ties become!
