Quilt Raffle. Once again,
Christ Church + Community Quilters are producing a one-of-a-kind quilt, to be
raffled at the St. Nicholas dinner, December 2. Proceeds
support outreach activities on the Hill. Marian Connolly has raffle
tickets. ($1 each; book of 6 for $5. You do not have to be present to
win.) PLEASE CONSIDER PURCHASING TICKETS. Christ Church has
donated the use of the parish hall for the Chorale's Spaghetti Dinners and its
members attend our concerts in large numbers. More recently, the church
made the upstairs rooms available for assembling our Fundraising appeal mailing,
again at no cost. This is the 22nd year that the group has produced a
custom, hand-made quilt. A description of the quilt follows:
*Kabuki
Dreams*--The 2006 Christ Church+Capitol Hill Community
Quilt
Appliquéd oriental designs float on a geometrical pattern of yellow-gold, forest green, teal, mauve and purple squares, each edged in black. Shibori accent squares and inner border compliment the appliquéd Japanese designs and striped fan print backing. Black binding and
outer border of random width stripes and fan corner insets provide coordinated
contrast. Queen size, approximately 87 inches by 94 inches.
All cotton fabrics with a light loft cotton batting. Hand
and machine pieced and hand quilted. Raffle tickets are 6 for $5. All proceeds
will support a Christ Church outreach activity. The drawing will be December 2nd
at the St Nicholas Day dinner.
(The CC+CHC quilters began making an annual quilt in 1984. Quilters meet Monday nights at 8:30 in the upper room of the Christ Church parish hall (620 G St SE). The quilters are not only
members of Christ Church but also include members of Capitol Hill Presbyterian, St. Marks Episcopal, St. James Episcopal, and church neighbors. If
interested in joining the quilting group contact Linda Mellgren (202-547-1839), Andrea Harles ( 547-3288) or the Christ Church Office
(547-9300).
