Drawing for gorgeous quilt to be held at Soup Bowl in May
Barbara Lewis, who last year donated nearly 200 pillowcases to Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center, has stepped up again to help by creating a beautiful quilt that TCWRC is giving away in a prize drawing this spring.
In 2010, Lewis, who owns BJ’s Fabrics & Quilts in Cloverdale, donated pillowcases as part of a nationwide challenge published in American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. The goal was to make a difference in American communities with a million pillowcases donated to charities.
Lewis said she immediately thought of the Women’s Resource Center shelter. She and a bunch of her customers responded.
This year’s gift, her handmade Mother’s Day Quilt, has an estimated value of $750, and is on display at the Wild Flower Thrift Boutique, 114 Main Ave., in Tillamook. TCWRC is selling tickets for $1 each or six for $5 to win it. The goal is to raise at least $1,000 in ticket sales. The winning entry will be drawn during the annual Soup Bowl fundraiser on Saturday, May 5.
To enter, you may purchase tickets at the Women’s Resource Center office at 2nd and Ivy and at the Wild Flower on Main. In addition, during the coming months, the quilt will be moved around to retail locations in town, where it can be viewed and tickets can be purchased.
