NSQG runs a raffle whose net proceeds benefit a not-for-profit charitable organization selected by Guild members.
The grand prize is a bed-sized quilt constructed by Guild members.
Tickets can be purchased at our Quilt Show or from NSQG members or from the Charitable Activites coordinator.
The drawing for the Charity Raffle Quilt and any other prizes is normally held after the show at our May meeting.
You do not need to be present to win.

2022 Charity - Friends of Karen

This year’s recipient will be Friends of Karen. Their mission is to provide emotional, financial and advocacy support for children with a life-threatening illness and their families in order to help keep them stable, functioning, and able to cope.

Friends of Karen serves families with a child (newborn through age 21) who has been diagnosed with and is actively in treatment for cancer or another life-threatening illness in the tri-state area. We offer our services at no cost to families and regardless of race, religion, gender, national origin or cultural heritage in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. Friends of Karen began in 1978 with one family, one child, Karen MacInnes, and one inspired woman, Sheila Petersen, who wanted to sustain her close friends through the devastating illness of their daughter. Today, we serve hundreds of families each month, and have affected the lives of 16,000 children.

– If you or a group of friends are interested in overseeing the design and construction of a future raffle quilt, the process is spread over almost two years with assistance from guild members:

– getting the design approved by the Board by the end of the current year guild season
– setting up for construction over the summer months
– overseeing the piecing, quilting, and binding thru the following year guild season and summer
– getting the quilt photographed over that second summer
– presenting the finished quilt to the membership at the second season September guild meeting.
