Quilt Raffle
The quilt raffle (The quilt is titled Memories.) will be raffled off on Sunday, December 17th. The quilt was made by the Womens Needlework/Missionary Guild under the guidance and direction of Sandy Reynolds, our quilting guru. It is truly a beautiful quilt made from a historic quilt block called “firty-Four Forty or Fight!”. An odd name for a quilt pattern; however, it got its name from from a campaign slogan used by James K. Polk, the victorious Democratic candidate for the 1844 presidential election. The phrase referred to a controversy with Great Britain over the recognized boundary between Oregon country and Russian America: 54 degrees, 40 minutes, north latitude. All the fabrics in this quilt are reproduction fabrics dating from the 1930’s – 1940’s. Working with these fabrics – the patterns and colors – brought back memory of our youth. The quilt is 100% cotton; hand pieced and machine quilted and a real treasure for some lucky winner. But to win you must buy a ticket. So, if you wish to buy tickets and/or sell additional tickets, please call Sandie Campbell, our ticket coordinator. Tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. Good luck!!!
