You can scroll down and read a few April posts from previous years to see blocks from previous raffles. Our hope is always that the winner will get the blocks put together and the finished quilt will be in one of our future shows.
That's the case for these blocks won 3 years ago.
These basket blocks were won by Pioneer Quilter Denise's friend Janet in 2013, and Denise used her turn to have a quilt in the frame at Pioneer Quilters for us to quilt Janet's top. What a special friend--we each only get a turn to have the group quilt a top about every five years! Janet put her finished quilt in this year's show--it's #120, and is displayed upstairs.
The 2016 blocks are based on a floral appliqué and trapunto quilt made by Almira Brown. Here are a few as they started to come in.

We think that you'll love these happy, bright floral blocks, and hope that you buy many chances to win them. As usual, they are $1.00 each, or six tickets for $5.00. You can get your tickets from the friendly Pioneer Quilter who hands you the show catalog. They're displayed behind her. At that table, you can also put your name on a list if you think you might have a quilt ready to be displayed at next year's show. While you're at that table, pick up a trio of 6" squares, our thank you gift to you for visiting our show.
If you don't win and/or prefer to make them yourself, the museum gift shop has a pattern (made from the quilt) for sale! The patterns are displayed up at the counter, by the cash register.
