QUILT RAFFLE
Beginning Tuesday, August 25th the Friends of the North Manchester Public Library will raffle off two handmade quilts made by Cass Rish! For several years, Cass Rish has donated her hand-stitched quilts to The Friends of the North Manchester Public Library's fund-raising quilt raffle. Cass began quilting in 1988 while watching Ken Burns' documentary on the Civil War. She started out machine-stitching her quilts. However, difficulty in achieving sharp, square corners on the machine convinced her to switch to hand-stitching them in 1988. Each of her quilts is definitely a unique work of creative skill and heirloom-worthy art.
Patrons can purchase tickets for a chance to win Cass Rish's hand-stitched 86 x 70 Easy Block quilt or her 74 x 74 Triangulation quilt.
Tickets will be sold from Tuesday, August 25th - Saturday, October 3rd. Winners will be drawn on the last day of the Friends of the Library Booksale. Patrons do not need to be present to win. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the front desk for $5 apiece or 5 tickets for $20.
Money raised from ticket sales helped fund the programs, projects, and purchases that make the library such a vital center of community activity for all ages.
