QUILT RAFFLE FUNDRAISER

Last year (2008) two quilts made with Jane Sassaman fabric and a colorful crib quilt and matching pillow were raffled off to help offset the cost of putting the quilt show on.

In a second raffle a Husqvarna Viking Emerald 183 Sewing Machine and two sets of fat quarters from Fons & Porter (BERNATEX Past & Present and Savannah lines) were also raffled off.

Don't miss your chance to win terrific prizes like these. Visit the 2009 Quilts and Their Stories quilt show and enter the 2009 raffle.

 

Above are the quilts raffled off at the 2008 Quilt Show.

2009 Quilt Show Raffle prizes to be announced at a later date. Drawing will be held at the 5th Tuesday concert at 9pm.
