Quilt to be raffled

The Piecemakers Quilt Club of Forks' main goal is to educate and encourage people to start quilting. In order to accomplish this goal the group has one quilt raffle each year that coincides with the Fabric of the Forest Quilt Show and classes. The money raised covers the cost of the show and pays to hire teachers to come to Forks.
