QuiltCon 2018 CMQG Charity Quilt
The CMQG is pleased
to be raffling off the community quilt that we made for QuiltCon
2018! This quilt was designed and created in a group effort
following the rules for the MQG, which set the color palette and
theme of “Traditional Quilts Made Modern”.
Entitled “Radient
Nine-Patch” (and designed by our very own Charlotte Howard), this eye-catching quilt will liven up any room! Based
on a traditional Nine-Patch block in a modern setting, the warm
colors flow from the inside out.
We are collaborating with Gather Here to raise funds to send kids to sewing camp held at Gather Here this summer. 100% of the proceeds from the
raffle will be used to sponsor one or more teens at the week-long
sewing camp at Gather Here. And even better....Gather Here is matching the donations! This camp introduces students to the
functional creativity of sewing for fashion or quilting and may lead
to the next generation of fiber artists.
The back was pieces from leftovers in the same color scheme!
Purchase your raffle
tickets in person at Gather Here until May 31 and the winner will be contacted on or about June 1, 2018.
