T-shirt designer wins contest

Tuesday 31st of October 2006 12:45:00 PM

A nurse from Bettendorf, Iowa has won a design contest, which will see her t-shirts sold in support of charity.

Rebecca Mueller won a t-shirt design competition with women's casual apparel chain J. Jill, according to the Des Moines Register, beating over 2,500 entrants in the Nature of Compassion challenge.

Ms Mueller's t-shirts, which feature four violets and her name on the tag, will be available for purchase from November.

All proceeds from the sale will go to the fashion chain's Compassion Fund, which "supports community-based organisations that help poor and homeless women become self-sufficient".

The 58-year-old paediatric nurse, who has always designed cards for friends, told the newspaper: "My daughter thinks I should [make cards] as a business and I always say, 'No, no', but she entered me to show me maybe I could do more."

The J. Jill Compassion Fund is a donor-advised fund supporting organisations which serve poor and homeless women.
