Quilt Raffle Update

Raffle Quilt--approximately 65" x 75"--Tickets $5

The quilt raffle has begun to move along.  We have 45 days left to raise our goal of $5,000. The raffle money will go to help with the cost of purchasing supplies, materials, tools and to pay for the shipping/transportation of these items and donated machines and fabric to Costa Rica.  These items will be used by Mercy Covers in their continued effort to teach sustaining sewing skills to women in areas of Costa Rica.  Mercy Covers is involved in several projects including having indigenous women sew quilts for charities and sew craft items they can sell to help pay for their children's education needs.

You can purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win this lovely quilt for as little as $5.  You can't win if you don't enter.  Your donation will be a great help for a very worthy organization.

Lily--Another Quilt Is Almost Done

This is one of my quilt design and it's almost done.  The sides, tops and bottoms will grow with more rows until it's about 65" x 75". Once quilted this quilt is being donated as an opportunity quilt to an organization that is helping a young man go on a mission trip to Costa Rica.  When he leaves the states it is hoped he will be carrying donated fabric and supplies to Mission Covers, an organization that has taught indigenous women to make quilts for sale and for charity.
