This year's Raffle Quilt was made by Debra Ramsey and it is beautiful. It is red and blue with a white back ground. House blocks in the center with an appliqué border and then log cabin blocks for the final border. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Hospice of Knox County. We will also have a craft table with items made by guild members for purchase and a sale table with items from our stash for sell.
