GILFORD — For the past several winters, the members of the Gilford Old Home Day Quilt Committee come together to create a raffle quilt. Funds raised are used toward offsetting the expense of running Old Home Day.
This year’s participants are Ardythe Eaton, Diane Maher, Chris Bowler, Valerie Chase, Helen Murphy, Diane Muller, Sophie Furdyna and Karen Thurston. The quilting was done by Michelle Plourde. This piece-work quilt measures 61 by 73 inches and is perfect as a couch quilt.
The quilt is made with a combination of traditional and batik quilting fabrics and took over 40 hours to cut, piece and sew together.
The quilt will be raffled off at Gilford's Old Home Day on Saturday, Aug. 29. This year's theme is "Gilford, No Place Like Home."
Tickets are are available from committee members or by contacting the Gilford Parks and Recreation Department at 603-527-4722.
