    What Quilty Prize Would Make You Want to Buy a Raffle Ticket?

    My guild does a fun prize patrol raffle at each business meeting. I get to do the shopping this year! Tickets are one for $1.00 and six for $5.00. Any money collected can be used to buy the items for the next month.

    I was told to have four things at each raffle. I think the most I would want to spend on one item would be $30 (that's $60 at JoAnn Fabrics with a coupon).

    I already have some specialty rulers, books, patterns, travel iron, and a bottle of Mary Ellen's Best Press.

    What items would make you want to buy a raffle ticket?

    Oooooo... those sound great! What brand of piecing thread would you want? I use Prescencia, but I don't think many people know that brand.

    Double Wedding Ring would have me at the front of the line. I absolutely love them.

    I'm confused... I know that there is a quilt pattern called a Double Wedding Ring. Are you talking about a pattern? Do you know of a specific one that you'd like?

    I really like the pattern/book with templates of "Rings that Bind" by Cheryl Phillips.

    Large package of nice batting, a 5 pack of Olfa 45mm rotary replacement blades, a rotating cutting mat, and a combo set of Best Press and 505 Spray.

    Is fabric allowed? Then maybe a fat quarter bundle or a layer cake or charm packs. Or maybe different quilting magazines.

    I also think that Jeanne's ideas are spot on, especially the replacement blades (they're expensive but it's soooo nice when you get to cut with a new one! ).

    I like this idea. Does the winner get all four prizes or chooses one and a new one is added for the next raffle?
    I love my life!
