"Hands Around the World"--2007 Quilt Raffle
 Tickets are available for "Hands Around the World," the 2007
Christ Church Quilt. The 2007 Christ Church Quilt ,"Hands Around the
World," is the second quilt pattern based on a quilt in the
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) collection. The DAR
original uses a medium blue and white pieced block (pattern is known
as "Hands All Around"), with adjoining white squares and blue and
white borders.
The
Christ Church replica uses the same pattern but with white against
an indigo blue calico for a higher contrast design. The size of the
pieced blocks have been enlarged so that the quilt fits a double or
queen size bed; finished size will measure about 90 x 105 inches.
The quilt is backed with indigo blue striped fabric, and is hand and
machined pieced and hand quilted.
 This is the 24th year that a quilt has been made as part of
fund-raising efforts for CC+WP. This year the proceeds from the
quilt raffle, to be held in conjunction with the St. Nicholas Day
Dinner on December 8th ,will be donated to support the United
Nations Millennium Development Goals. The aim of the MDGs is to cut
global poverty in half by 2015. In addition to support from national
governments, the MDGs are supported by the Episcopal Church and many
other religious and secular organizations throughout the world.
The Christ Church+Capitol Hill Community Quilters Extrodinaire
meet at 7:30 PM on most Monday nights in the upper room of the
Christ Church parish hall. The quilting group is open to all.
Experience with sewing or membership at CC+WP is not required.
Tickets are available at Christ Church or contact
Linda
Mellgren or
Andrea
Harles.

Prices: 6/$5 or $1 Each
