Our St. Mary Anne’s Quilters kept busy this past year creating a beautiful new quilt to raffle off at this year’s Garden Market. The floral hand-pieced, queen-sized quilt is a “Rose of Sharon” pattern and features rose, French blue and cream colored fabrics. It is now on display in the Parish Hall.

Raffle tickets are $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00. You can purchase your tickets on Sunday, April 27 during Coffee Hour or during the Garden Market. Proceeds will benefit the quilter’s SMA Pastoral Quilt Ministry, which provides handmade lap quilts for parishioners who reside in long-term care communities or are homebound.

The quilt will be on display at the Garden Market’s SMA Quilters booth, so be sure to stop by and purchase raffle tickets. Two additional quilts will be auctioned at the booth, and a collection of microwave bowl cozies, neck warmers, and dinner napkin sets will be available for purchase.

We are pleased to recognize the work and talents of the following SMA Quilters: Dru Torregrossa, Jacqui McMullen, Pat Wagner, Wendy Gilbert, Judy Hartman, Phyllis Doyle and Linda Gibeck. We also give appreciation to Susan Zerr, a financial contributor to the group.
