Special Offer For A Limited Time!

For those who choose to donate $30.00 dollars or more will automatically receive a Quilting Stash necklace charm!

This charm is a resin-cast image of my "Gran's Garden Path Heart" design set on a scrabble tile and fitted on a necklace strand with clasp. I designed this heart as a part of a complete border in Sue Nickels' class at Asilomar several years ago. It has become the identifier on my web site and will soon be part of a complete quilt later this year.

This colorful charm is just the beginning of many more to come as part of my "Charmed, I'm Sure" charm line available online soon at simplearts.com. I will always make these charms available to my loyal listeners first - then sell them in my boutique.

Gran's Garden Path Heart charm will ONLY be available as a thank you gift for your donation of $30.00 dollars or more. This edition is limited to the first 100 donations only - I'm only making 100.

When you donate, select the button above titled "PayPal One-Time Donation." Enter a donation value of $30.00 or more and be sure to include your mailing address on the donation form. We will get a charm necklace in the mail as soon as possible (please allow two to four weeks)!

Why Support Quilting Stash Podcast?

The plan is simple: we create the best podcast we possibly can, refrain from filling it with advertising, and then ask you to pay us what you think it's worth. So far it seems to be working out nicely. We're not likely to get rich this way, but that's not our goal.

Here at Quilting Stash, we want to remain non-commercial. We feel that by keeping sponsors out of the show, we can continue to represent the best of what's out there in the quilting world without the influence of sponsors. This way I can continue to talk about any product I want without promoting one product over another.

We also choose to refrain from forcibly extracting money from you by charging subscription fees. There have been other online shows which have tried to charge a fee to listen or view their shows and other materials. Research shows that this idea just doesn't work over the long run.

So may I suggest the best of BOTH worlds? Perhaps you can pass the hat, fill the tip jar, call it whatever you like. Click one of the buttons up above on this page. We leave it up to you to decide what our service is worth to you.

Some listeners have already caught the vision of what the donation program is about and have generously donated. For that we are truly thankful. Please continue to donate as you have in the past. Our main goal is to continue to inform, instruct and inspire you to quilting (and crafty) greatness. If you can't afford to make a donation, please DON'T stop listening to the show - that's not our intention.

Safety & Security Concerns

When sending & receiving your credit card information through PayPal online they use the standard https protocol that all online commerce sites (Amazon, banks, brokerage houses, etc) use. Quilting Stash does not store your credit card number. Paypal will store your credit card information if you ask them to save it to make automatic recurring payments.

We do not ever, under any circumstances, share your email address or any other information about you with any third party - nor do we engage in any kind of email or direct-mail marketing.

Ways To Contributether ways to contribute:

1. PayPal. They accept many major currencies (including Euros, Pounds, & CDN$) and all major credit cards AND you don't need a PayPal account to pay by PayPal. There are two payment methods, single donations and subscription donations.

Single donations are simply that. You enter the amount you want to donate and you are charged one time for that amount only.

Subscription donations allow donors to set an automatic recurring monthly amount charge their credit card. PayPal manages this charge method and when you wish to cancel your recurring donation, you will contact PayPal by clicking the "unsubscribe" button above.

2. Mail us a check if you prefer. Checks can be made payable to "Annie Smith." Please include your email address when mailing the check (to the address below).

Mailing Address: Annie Smith - 14938 Camden Ave, San Jose, CA 95124

Note: unfortunately, contributions to Quilting Stash are not tax-deductible.
