Happy Mardi Bras

Happy Mardi Gras! Can you guess what this is?

Hint: Something this gorgeous and artFULL could be quite useful at Mardi Gras, in order to avoid temptation of contagious New Orleans mass mentality to flash your "girls".

Did you guess "Bra?"

The Artfull Bras Project

Members of Quilters of South Carolina have created one-of-a-kind bras for Breast Cancer Awareness. The exhibit consists of fifty original works of art which are unique, entertaining, humorous, and beautiful to make the public aware of breast cancer, to memorialize those lost to the disease, and to honor survivors.

This exhibit will tour SC until Oct '09 at which time individual Artfull Bras will be auctioned and the proceeds donated to the Best Chance Network, a program to provide care and treatment of uninsured women across the state who are diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer.

The bras come prepared for display on their own hangers and are available for exhibit across the state of South Carolina. The exhibit is available until October of 2009. If you are interested in delighting and inspiring your organization membership, contact Sandra Baker, president of QSC at Sandra25@bellsouth.net

Here are just a few of my favorites. All 50 bras(it's like the sisterhood of the traveling bras) can be viewed on the Quilters of South Carolina website.
