Author Sharon T Rose is raffling a quilt to raise money for children in Zambia in view of her forthcoming visit to this country and there’s a photo of the item. Here’s what she says on her blog. You can follow Sharon on Twitter @sharontherose

“The fundraiser is live!

Win the quilt pictured above!

I am raffling off the quilt in the pictures below, and your donations put you in the running to get it! Each US$25.00 that you contribute towards the kids gets you one entry in the raffle. I am keeping a list based on the contribution notices I receive via the campaign below: ChipIn: Sharon’s Zambia Trip! If you don’t feel comfortable using this online donation software but would still like to contribute, you are welcome to contact me directly by combining LilyFields Entertainment (with no spaces) and using the gmail server.

This lovely fabric was made in Zambia and is hand-stitched entirely by yours truly. Finished piece will be a bit more than a meter squared and suitable for both use and display. I will announce the winner on 1 April 2011. I will take the list compiled from donations and run it through a randomizer to select the winner. If you donated previously, you are already on the list. You are welcome to donate in as many separate transactions as you care to; the “tickets” are based on cumulative donations. Yes, I will ship internationally.“

So, what are you waiting for!
