So everything's coming together. We are taking the quilt to turn into the Pitt County Fair on Friday. Then, I am going on WITN7 News on Monday. On top of all that, we have sold more than 200 tickets thus far! I can't wait to see how many we sell at the fair. Let me know if you want any! (252-258-5852)

New News!!!
So, I just got the news that Heather King from WITN7, the local news channel, will be drawing the winning ticket and announcing the winner of the quilt raffle in late October during the morning broadcast!
Here's a collage I made of some of the work I put into making the quilt. The pillow in the middle right spot was made by my little sister, Juliana. It will be included with the quilt in the raffle along with a couple of other pillows that I made.

First Post
My name is Kimberly Combs and I am working on my senior project to benefit the American Cancer Society.
I hosted a mother/daughter tea party where my friends and their mothers designed and decorated quilt squares. I have pieced the squares together and made the Helping Hands Quilt. Pictures of the event are below. Photos taken by my dear friend, Lindsay.
The quilt will be entered in the Pitt County Fair in the hopes of winning a ribbon. The Fair Staff has graciously given permission for the Helping Hands Quilt to be raffled and all proceeds to be given to the American Cancer Society. To purchase a raffle ticket simply contact an attendant while in the exhibit hall. It only costs $1.00 for a chance to win.
Here a sneak peak at the finished quilt. I hope to have a better picture uploaded soon.

I am very excited to be appearing on WITN7 on Monday, Oct. 4th at 6:20 am with Heather King.
The Lady Pirates are having an event in September that I hope to be involved with. I also plan to participate in the Greenville Mall/ViQuest Health Fair Day in October.
Cancer has touched my life through family and friends. I want to join the fight and help in a small way.
