Friends! We are so excited to show you Billโs completed quilt! It looks fantastic on the beautiful quilt rack donated by Russ and his late wife Debbie.
Bill quilted this masterpiece specifically to donate to the St. Patโs 24 Hour Race - knowing that all the proceeds from the raffle are donated to ALS research.
And Russ just shared with me today that the quilt rack belonged to his mom. Russ and Debbie agreed that donating it to ALS research was the perfect way to honor Russโs mom.
How can you have a chance to win the quilt and the quilt rack?
Simply buy one raffle ticket for $5.00 or three raffle tickets for $10.00. The raffle tickets will be sold Friday evening at the big red barn and all day Saturday as well. The winner will be announced Sunday morning at the completion of the 24 hour race. It is not necessary for you to be present to win. We will find a way to get the quilt and rack to you ๐
