Raffle Quilt 2010: "We Are All Stars"About the QuiltEvery other year, the Chelmsford Quilt Guild makes a group project to be raffled off in conjunction with our Quilt Show. This years effort, the extraordinary "We are All Stars," was designed and compiled by Gerre Clements. In 2008, she challenged the Guild members to make batik star blocks 6", 9" or 12" square. After a herculean effort, the blocks were gathered and combined. Extra blocks were included on the pieced back. The quilt was machine quilted by Guild Member Cheryl Dennis. The quilt measures 88 inches by 93 inches. Raffle TicketsThe quilt will travel throughout New England to shows and other Guilds with volunteers from our Guild who will sell tickets for it, or you can buy tickets from a number of guild members. Tickets will also be available at our Quilt Show. The cost of the tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. The drawing will take place and the winner of the quilt will be announced at our May Guild Meeting on May 24, 2010. If the winner is not present, she or he will be contacted soon after to arrange delivery of the quilt. Proceeds from the sale of raffle tickets for this quilt are shared with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International The mission of the JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. If you are not in the New England area, but still are interested in purchasing tickets for the Raffle Quilt, please contact the web site manager.
