More
than thirty people working with Lee Vorderer, Eleanor Merz and Mary Flatley gathered in the Common Room of First Parish in late winter/early spring to create
a queen-sized patchwork quilt that will be raffled to benefit the Habitat house currently under construction on North Road.
Each square in the Log Cabin
pattern quilt was designed and made individually; all squares share three
fabrics while the rest of the fabrics in each square were chosen by the
square's maker. The squares were assembled into strips, with the strips
then sewn together to create the quilt top. Other quilters made the four
borders and attached them to the quilt. The quilt's main color is dark
red, with a wide range of other fabrics bringing many other colors to the palette.
If you'd like to purchase raffle tickets

The Great Road, Bedford, MA , with "Habitat" on the memo line and "Quilt" on the envelope. Include your
name, address and telephone number; Habitat
volunteers will fill out your tickets, enter them into the raffle, and then
mail your ticket stubs back to you.
Tickets are $3 each or two

winner does not need to be present to win.
