Each year, a special handmade quilt is raffled off to one lucky winner. This year’s creation, “Sunflower,” is an original machine-pieced, hand-quilted and appliquéd design by longtime church member Betty Haines, co-chair of the Quilt Show Committee. Raffle tickets cost $1. The drawing is Sunday afternoon.
Admission to the Quilt Show is just $5, and all proceeds benefit the church.
