QUILT RAFFLE - August 28th

we are again pleased to present three of Sharon Shiraishi's quilts.

 

This year's collection is entitled "Some of My Favorite Things" and are based on the "Chop-Stix" pattern by Dorie Javier. Sharon wanted to make this year's quilts ones that "would offer warmth and comfort" rather than being hung as art on a wall.
