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 until October each year. Drawing for our "Opportunity Quilt" is to be held following our annual Quilt Show at the Lake County Fairgrounds.
Tickets are available to purchase by contacting us via our mailing address or through our website. The tickets are $1 each, or 10 for $5, or 20 for $10.
Each ticket purchased helps to support our "Ladies or the Lake" Quilt Guild.
