Show Raffle Quilt

Our 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.

Holiday Boutique

Comfort Quilts will have a Batik Extravaganza, assorted novelties and notions at the November Boutique. Proceeds go to the Guild, so stop by and shop.

Every year, Comfort Quilts has a Summer Project.  This summer each participant supplied their favorite focus fabric and Carol Auer and Karen Carlson created packets of fabric to match.  You may be  one of the lucky members who gets to select from the many quilts created as part of the “You Gotta Love It Project” by taking a chance on the Winner’s Choice Raffle.  Winners can select as their prize any of the quilts that are exhibited on the wall in the cafeteria at our October Guild meeting.  The more tickets that are sold the more quilts will be raffled.  Proceeds go to the Guild to help support Comfort Quilt Activities.

The Comfort Quilts winter schedule and location begins on Wednesday October 5th.  Check the calendar on the website for our full schedule.

If you are not able to join us on Wednesdays but would like to make a quilt for Comfort Quilts you can pick up precut kits from Kathleen Keane or Nancy Picco at the Guild meeting.
