Quilts for Wounded Warriors

Help make a quilt for a wounded service person! These quilts are given at hospitals to members of our armed forces and are taken home. Each quilt is accompanied by a pillowcase to hold the quilt during transit.

Make a block that is 12.5 inches square, using any respectful design or coloring of your choice. Include a message. Our volunteers will put the blocks together to make a quilt. Donations of quilting cottons, backing, batting and monetary donations are welcomed.

Questions may be directed to project leader, Della Hamberg. Contact her at: info@scrapbagquilters.org.

RafflequiltAnnual Raffle Quilt

2010 Quilt was raffled at the Family Festival at Lake Summerset, July 17, 2010.
Shirley Smith of Davis won the quilt. She said she was going home to paint her bedroom to match.

Money raised from raffling a quilt is used to buy fabric and batting for other community service projects. The blocks and borders for the queen-sized 2010 Quilt were sewn by members of the club, as coordinated by Barb Saar. The final quilting has amazing feathers and was done by Fran Waller (finishingthreadsfran@wallers-durand.net)

The 2010 Raffle Quilt also has two pillow shams to match.
