Kimono Raffle Quilt — January 2005

Congratulations to lucky winner Helen Repsted from Howard Beech, Queens! Helen is a quilter with our neighboring Brooklyn Quilt Guild, and is the photographer for their Show & Tell. Thank you to Michael Fung for drawing the winning ticket, and to Pat Farace for allowing us to use the Kimono Pattern from her Quilt By Number series. Many guild members helped create this quilt and sold (or purchased!) tickets, and we are grateful for everyone's efforts.

We especially thank the following individuals for their contributions to this beautiful project: Paula Kenney, and Kitty Squire for heading the ticket sales, Lauren Smetko for the machine quilting, Kitty Squier, Alice Brody, Betty Chen, Sylvia Hughes, Paula Kenney, Anna Krassy, Dawn Rhodes, Marie Annoual, Liz Burpee, Mary Butler, Sandra Cain, Anna Lega, and Veronique Milliez, for their work in completing the assembly of the quilt top. And last— but certainly not least — to every guild member who submitted one of the more than 200 blocks that were created for this project.
