I worked on a raffle quilt for an embroidery guild I once belonged to. We made a blue work quilt, everyone took blocks that had designs traced on them (New England theme) and used blue embroidery thread. A quilter in the group sewed the blocks together, put borders on it, made the quilt sandwich. I can't remember if we tied it or she machine quilted it, but it came out beautifully. My friend one the quilt in the raffle. It starter her and I out on our journey to learn how to quilt. I thought it was nice that everyone in the gourp could pitch in if them wanted to. We all had a lot of fun!
