RAFFLING THE SHALOM QUILT: IN WARMTH & BEAUTY I WILL SLEEP

Shalom Quilt

Friends of peace & beauty –

One of the Psalms begins, "Of love & justice I will sing." Today, in the painful moments of working for peace despite a government determined on war, we need a psalm that goes –

"OF PEACE & BEAUTY I WILL SING!"

And we have one. It is a psalm in cloth – a Shalom Quilt made of dozens of T-shirts that have called out in colorful and quirky words and images for peace, justice, and the healing of our wounded earth.

The Shalom Quilt was "peaced together" by Amy Smith of Blue Feet Studio. We are raffling it off as a way of raising money for The Shalom Center, while bringing its beauty into someone's home.

The Shalom Quilt was "peaced together" by professional textile-artist Amy Smith of Blue Feet Studio.  We are raffling it off as a way of raising money for The Shalom Center, while bringing its beauty into someone's home.  In a regular sale it would cost $1800.

I guarantee you it will warm your bed and warm your heart and enlighten your eyes all at the same time -- and help to create warmth and compassion around the world by supporting The Shalom Center's work.

The raffle works this way: You buy one ticket for $10 or one set of three tickets for $18, more for multiples of those amounts.  Print out and use the coupon below, or send us the same information on your own note. 

You send a check to The Shalom Center, 6711 Lincoln Drive, Philadelphia PA 19119, earmarked "Quilt." We'll send you the raffle tickets. Beginning June 1, the price will go up to $18 per ticket -- so sign up now!  The drawing will be held on July 4 --  in honor of those unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, may they soon be restored to the American people and all others.

With blessings of beauty & shalom --  Arthur
