Here's a beauty!  It could be YOURS if you are the lucky winner!

 

It's pieced, quilted, and the binding is going on!  Raffle tickets are only $5.







How appropriate that we're announcing this on Veterans Day!

This large quilt, approximately 100" x  90",  is truly a work of art!   The raffle will raise funds for the Iditaquilters Guild so quilters, who volunteer their time and talents, can continue to purchase materials for future donation quilts. These quilts are given to American wounded warriors in the United States and in hospitals overseas; others are donated to those in the community who have suffered loss and could use the comfort and warmth of a beautiful quilt.  Guild members are generous with their time and periodically do a project to generate funds for additional materials -- which is when your generosity comes into play.  This incredible quilt is such a project. Each featured block includes the name of the quilter(s) who created it. 

Yes, raffle tickets are available from any Iditaquilter Guild member in the Willow area, and they will be sold at WillowAK Pottery during the Willow Holiday Art Studio Tour on Nov. 22.  The quilt is making its first public appearance during the tour;  do come by to see it.  Tickets are $5 and the drawing will be in April.  If you want to purchase tickets and cannot do so directly from a Guild member, please send a message and we'll work out an alternative way for you to be part of the raffle.
