OUR RAFFLE QUILT WINNER! 🏆
Thank you to Heather West for purchasing the lucky raffle ticket in support of the Mahone Bay Quilters’ Guild. She went home with the City Sampler by Tula Pink - a quilt that over 70 of our members worked on ⭐️
Thanks to all those who bought and sold tickets this year!
THANK YOU! We were able to raise $1720.00 in support of Christmas Daddies this year through the Silent Auction at the Quilt Show. 13 pieces were included in the Auction.
A huge thank you to not only the folks behind the quilts, but to the lucky winners of each piece! ⭐️
We were able to grab a few photos of some of the lucky winners (even with some of the artists) before they took their new treasures home 🏠
