Show Raffle Quilt

raffle quilt copyOur raffle quilt for the 2017 Quilt Show, Blooming Star, will be on display at the November meeting.  This beautiful quilt, made up of stars and flowers, was constructed under the leadership of Angela Vertucci and professionally quilted in golden thread by Angela.  The quilt was made possible by the generous contribution of fabric by Stone Designs in Carmel, NY and batting by the Quilt Shop by Lois of Newtown, CT.

You will also be able to pick up your raffle tickets for Blooming Star, so that you may support Mt. Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry, our chosen charity for this year.  MKIFP, which is made up of 13 member congregations of various denominations, provides food each week to 270 families from Northern Westchester.

This year we will have a special exhibit of quilts started in NSQG workshops or on Super Saturday.  The quilts in this exhibit will not be judged.  If you enter a quilt to be judged that was started in a workshop or on Super Saturday, there will be a sign next to it saying so.  We would like to highlight the exceptional teachers and workshops that our Guild has to offer.
