Our wonderful raffle quilt was made and quilted by Harriet Hagedorn.  “Everlasting Beauty” was entered in our Quilt Show last June.
                     “Everlasting Beauty” has been busy this month.  At the guild meeting I sold 100 tickets.  Cindy Erickson displayed the quilt at the Bernina Store and sold over $150 tickets.  Kathy Havranek and Susie Jarosz took it to the Heartland Quilter’s Guild in Kansas City and sold $50 tickets.  It is visiting the Log Cabin for the Nebraska Shop Hop.  The first week in May it will travel to Kanesville Quilting in Council Bluffs, Iowa for First Saturday. 

I have two people who would like to take the quilt to work in May.  If you would like to have the large quilt and stand go to work with you, please let me know.  I can also loan you the “Mini Beauty” to take if you don’t have a large space to display the quilt at.  Please contact me so that I can get you on the quilt’s social schedule.  The person who sells the most tickets will be able to take the “Mini Beauty” home from the quilt show with them. 

We still need to sell about 2,500 tickets.  I hope that many members will bring money and purchase a book of tickets for $10 at the May meeting.  We will also be selling tickets at the quilt show.  If you can’t find your ticket stubs you have until Sunday during the show to drop them in the box.  You know you won’t be able to win, if you don’t buy tickets. 

 We use the money we earn from the sales of the tickets to help fund the speakers and make it possible to offer educational opportunities in the guild.
