OPPORTUNITY QUILTS
LLQG makes a quilt every year to be raffled as a fundraiser. The quilt is made by a committee of guild members. Our first quilt was made in 200l and we have made a quilt each year since. The current quilt travels to other guild meetings, quilt shops, local festivals and even Farmer's Markets.
Tickets can be purchased throughout the year in person at our general meetings, contacting us via our mailing address or through our website. The tickets are $1 each, or 10 for $5.
