The Raffle Quilt is locally sewn and quilted by many of the skilled artisans of the Ketchikan Rainy Day Quilters Guild. Many of the quilters who worked on this quilt have won prizes for their own quilts, which have been entered in State and National quilt shows. The price of a single raffle ticket is $5.00 and a book of 5 tickets is $20.00. The Raffle Quilt will be on display at the Plaza on Tuesday, November 5th, and later at the Silver Thimble. Members selling raffle tickets will also have pictures of the quilt for viewing. Tickets for the annual Quilt Show Raffle Quilt will go on sale at a booth at the Plaza on November 5th, Election Day. Another booth sale will occur at the Silver Thimble during their annual Quilt Show on November 9 and 10. Additionally, Quilt Raffle Tickets may be purchased from any Rainy Day Quilters Guild member until the actual Quilt Show on February 15 and 16, during Festival of the North month. Raffle Quilt Committee Chairperson,
Roxann Byron at 225-6335, may be contacted for further information
and individual or group ticket sales. The Rainy Day Quilters
Guild, a non-profit organization, will use proceeds of the Quilt
Raffle Sales to further the learning of new quilting skills by
its members, as well as to support the Guild's numerous Community
Service projects, such as the monthly program of donations to
Women In Safe Homes (WISH), The First City Cancer Auction Quilt,
baby quilt donations to Ketchikan General Hospital, bib donations
to The Pioneer Home, and the Salvation Army Food Basket donation
for Thanksgiving.
