What is the opposite of a Quilt? A Qu-won't!
It's that time of year -- time for another Quilt Raffle to benefit the Central Presbyterian Youth Group Mission Trip to Mobile, Alabama!
We are excited that our very own CPC member, Carlie Tilly, has donated the 2013 quilt! Carlie started quilting about 3 years ago, bridging over from sewing clothes. She started in a group called "Thank You Quilters" who quilt for Soldiers. They make and deliver quilts to Fort Hood via their Wounded Warrior Brigade. From there, as they say, the rest is history. Carlie fell in love with sewing and eventually bought a long arm quilting machine (I am so very, very, very jealous!) At times, Carlie gets lost in her quilting and will be at her machines 9am to 9pm. It isn't very hard since her dining/living room into a sewing studio!
Carlie opted for a modern and gender/age-neutral look to mix it up for some quilt diversity in our raffle. (If you remember, last year's quilt had a more traditional, elegant vibe.) The quilt is called "Mission Lites" in honor of the Youth Mission Trip. Carlie spent about 40 hours at her machines, and the sale value is $600-$1000. The quilt measure approximately 4'4" x 6'4".
Because we have a large fundraising goal ($11,000 for this trip!), tickets are $10 each. We are capping the sale at 100 tickets (even though we sold 140 last year). For only $100, that's a 10% chance of winning! The drawing will be on April 28, at the Potluck after church -- which happens to be Youth Sunday!
Get your tickets today to prove you're not a Qu-won't!
