Take A Chance or Two: Fundraisers for 2026

Every once in a while I scroll for Opportunity or Raffle Quilts online to see what's new and if there are trackable design trends. This spring I haven't seen much in the way of  style trends---quilts from various guilds are diverse. A minor trend is one our Kaw Valley Quilt Guild is participating in. As members age older quilts are being returned to raffle off once again. This year's KVQG star was made for auction 15 years ago, won and was recently given back to raise more funds. It's mostly fabrics from a Moda collection of fabric Terry Thompson and I did called Seneca Falls.

Stitched by The SewWhatevers: Jerry Van Leer, Wendy Turnbull, Roseanne Smith,
