Benefit raffle quilt
This was made for a raffle to benefit a beloved member of the Aussie community whose husband had suddenly died. There were a number of great items in the raffle and tickets were being sold over the Internet. On the ticket you were to name the item you wanted to take a chance on. I bought 10 tickets and picked a number of cool items I would like. I wrote on 1 ticket that it was for this quilt, thinking that if I won I would send it to the woman who was being benefitted because she was a good friend of the artist Sandy Case, whose art is featured on the quilt. My ticket was drawn by the emcee, to much hooting and laughing. The widow was ecstatic to receive the quilt. I think her late husband had a hand in that drawing!
