Oswego’s Quilters Dozen Quilt Club has started its annual fundraiser, the PrairieFest Quilt Raffle.
One lucky winner will take home the 2022 PrairieFest Quilt, “Japanese Garden,” named for its fabrics’ colorful Oriental-theme prints. Soft creams, greens, and reds were used to produce a peaceful palette. The quilt measures 51” x 63”, the perfect size for cuddling on a couch, or displayed on the wall. It is made entirely of quality cotton fabric and was hand- quilted by the Quilters Dozen members during the past year.
Quilt raffle donation is $1 a ticket or six tickets for $5. Raffle tickets are available from quilt club members and, in groups of six, online at the PrairieFest.com website. Tickets for the raffle quilt will be sold during the quilt show, Friday and Saturday, June 17 and 18, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, June 19, noon to 4 p.m. The drawing for the quilt will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday, June 18.
Proceeds will benefit the Oswego American Legion Post 675 and the Oswegoland Park District’s PrairieFest Celebration.
The Quilters Dozen meets weekly at the Oswego American Legion Post 675 post home, 19 West Washington Street, Oswego. For information about the Quilt Show, this year’s quilt raffle fundraiser, or the Quilters Dozen Club, call Diana Schlosser at 630-554-9367 or Sue Matile at 630-554-8743.
