Every year at our Quilt Bingo, we raffle off a really special quilt. This year’s quilt is called June’s Blossoms. It is a very large quilt with incredibly detailed applique and quilting. It’s beautiful in photos, but truly stunning in person.

If you want to purchase raffle tickets, please visit one of our in-person meetings or events. You can also get in touch with a guild member you know or reach out through our contact channels.

Raffle tickets are $5 for three tickets, or $10 for nine tickets.
