Raffle Quilt

Our 2017-2018 raffle quilt "Scrappy Bear Paw" was revealed at the September 5, 2017 meeting. It was designed and pieced by Betsy Glassey and quilted by Jane Pitt.  Both are guild members. This beauty is 94" x 94" with cheerful colors. The quilt was raffled off at our end-of-the-year quilt year meeting on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. The winner is Amy Stewart, who is a member of the guild.

Raffle tickets are available for each member to pick up at guild meetings. The price is $1 per ticket or 6 tickets for $5. Co-chairs of this year's raffle quilt project are Georgia Koushiafes and Christina Feaster. For questions, please email: raffle@bloomingtonquiltersguild.org.

Our 2016-17 quilt was raffled off at the June 6, 2017 meeting. The raffle quilt “Sticks and Stones" was designed by Edyta Star of Laundry Basket Quilts. It is made with a line of Moda Fabrics that Edyta designed. The quilt is 61" x 61" square. The quilt was pieced and quilted by guild member Pat Surra. The winner of the 2016–2017 raffle quilt was Cathy Arvin, Diana McGlocklin’s step-daughter. Diana is a member of the guild.

Becky Wilson, our raffle chair for the past two years, reports: "I have enjoyed meeting many new and current members the last two years while I handled the raffle tickets. Thanks to all who participated, especially those who invested time making the quilts. The raffle quilt is an important source of funds that helps the guild bring in the wonderful variety of speakers we are all able to enjoy at our meetings. Please support the raffle quilt project in the coming year by working with our new co-chairs to sell as many raffle tickets as possible!"
