Emma’s Quilt Cupboard Hosts Raffle Quilt

Rhododendron Needlers Quilt Guild (RNQG) is looking forward to exhibiting our Raffle Quilt at Emma’s Quilt Cupboard, 319E Central Street Franklin, for the month of October. The quilt is called “Star Gazing” as it features the traditional Hunter’s Star Block. It is presented in beautiful shades of blue and white, measures 67 inches x 82 inches and was created by dozens of guild members. It was machine-quilted by Diana R. Annis, a guild member and nationally known long arm quilter. Raffle tickets are 3/$5 or $2 each; proceeds support the guild’s mission of education and philanthropy.

RNQG has been in existence since 1983 and is currently 76 members strong, representing 35 towns around southeastern Mass. Guild meetings are the third Wednesday of each month from September through June at 7:00pm at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Walpole.

The guild’s philanthropy includes donating an average of 100 comfort quilts per year through local social service agencies such as the Home for Little Wanderers, as well as supporting the New England Quilt Museum, providing a scholarship to a graduating senior from a high school in our member network and a donation to that senior’s public library for the purpose of purchasing materials about art.
