Raffle Quilt

Each year the Guild creates a quilt to be raffled. A committee is formed to choose a design, select the fabric, and assemble a Queen/King size quilt. The quilt is usually completed in time for the Visions show which is held in early March of the following year. Members often contribute by assembling blocks.

Raffle tickets are on sale throughout the year and the winner is announced at the Canadian Rockies Quilt Show or at a special advertised public draw.

Proceeds from the raffle quilt are used to support community charitable work and education as well as guild educational activities, programs and exhibits.
