Nifty Fifty Quilters of America |
Our Nifty Fifty One Swap made two breast cancer charity quilts. Since a quilter from every state has worked on these quilts and have added the names of their friends and families who have suffered from this terrible disease, we would also like everyone from all 50 states to have the opportunity to place names of loved ones on these quilts.We have designated one quilt for signatures of Breast Cancer Survivors and signatures of family members who have lost a loved one. As our quilt traveled to quilt shows we noticed that others who had survived cancer had also signed the back of our quilt. So we have designated the second quilt for any survivor of cancer who would also like sign the back of the quilt. We will donate these NF I queen size quilts to a Quilt Museum to raise awareness for Breast Cancer as soon as the backs are filled with signatures . |
If anyone would like to add a name to the back of our quilts or if your organization is interested in displaying our quilts to collect signatures then please contact Teresa at Nifty Fifty Quilters |

All Nifty Fifty Charity Quilts have been donated by their hostesses to a local hospital or center to raise money for Breast Cancer. NF 5 was auctioned off in New York City through the Carol Baldwin Center to benefit Breast Cancer Awareness. The person who won the quilt gave it back to be auctioned again because it only raised $500.00 the first time. NF 7 was donated to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Washington State NF 16 and 18 were raffled off at a Breast Cancer event through Mary Washington Hospital Fredericksburg Virginia to go towards Breast Cancer awareness.
