Spring is in the air, and thoughts swiftly turn to Mother’s Day. And for this very special day we are introducing our Mother’s Day Raffle Quilt. As you know, we generally have 2-3 raffles every year to raise much needed funds for batting and fabric. Every penny raised in this raffle goes to purchase these supplies. Take a moment to look over the quilt for Mother’s Day. It’s a sweet little summer quilt complete with 8 cross-stitch panels from Linda and scenes of farms and quaint towns. They make you long for the simpler life. There are pussy willows, flowers and butterflies quilted in the borders and it is set to hang or use as a quilt.
We do need people to help sell the raffle tickets. We will be selling them before and after the masses at Mother Seton Parish. There are several masses to cover and it does NOT matter if you are a member of the Church or not. We will not leave you by yourself. We need everyone to help out. I’d like to have at least 3-4 people cover each mass. Father Mark is allowing us to sell the tickets on April 25, 26 and May 2 and 3. On Saturday April 25 and May 2 the Masses are at 5:00pm and there is a 6:30pm Spanish Mass. On the Sundays we have 7:30am, 9:00am, 10:45am, 12:15pm and 5:00pm. Other than the first masses, if you came before the end of Mass and stayed until the next mass began that would be great. Jodi is in charge of the Raffle, so please let her know what Mass you can cover or you can let me know at wecare@mspquiltingangels.org. If you think you can sell raffle tickets at work or to a group you belong to let us know. Jodi can get you tickets and we can print pictures of the quilt. If it’s a large enough group we may be able to bring it to your meeting. Let everyone know the quilts we make using these funds go to our wounded soldiers and the children with cancer. 100% of the money goes to our batting and fabric supplies. Nothing goes for paying for the web-site or any promotional funds. Those are all donated separately by our members. I hope you enjoy this raffle quilt. If you would like to make a quilt to raffle, please let me know. We are also asked by various groups for a quilt they can raffle and we’d love to have some to offer those who support us as well as raffling ourselves. I am looking forward to seeing everyone on April 25th.
As always, Quilt on!
