What's New @ Creekside Quiting?
We are putting together a group order for the
Sunflower T-shirt Fundraiser organized by fabric designer Kate Spain with World Central Kitchen! If you would like to be a part of our group order, submit your order by
MONDAY, MARCH 21. We will then order with Kate Spain and a portion of the profits will be donated by Kate Spain to World Central Kitchen, a non-profit organization stationed at the Ukrainian-Poland border to provide meals for displaced Ukrainian families and refugees.
FAQI see that you are charging $24.50 for t-shirts but Kate Spain is only charging $24 - why?
We are creating a group order for two reasons: to help spread awareness for this fundraiser and also to save our local customers shipping costs. The extra $0.50 cents per t-shirt is to cover shipping costs we will be charged for the group order. If there are any extra funds raised during this fundraiser not spent on shipping, we will donate those funds. We have no intention of profiting off of this group order.
To order your t-shirt through Creekside Quilting, click HERE or for more information on the fundraiser or to order your t-shirt directly from Kate Spain, head here:
