2022 GVQC Raffle Quilt
The
2022
raffle
quilt
is
a
unique
vision
designed
by
Genesee
Valley
Quilt
Club
members
Theresa
Alano
(concept
design
and
applique
blocks)
and
Beth
Brewer
(pieced
blocks).
This
bold
and
modern
vision
shows
just
what
can
be
done
with
simple
shapes
and
a
limited
palette
of
solid
colors.
GVQC
members
created
the
85
blocks
which
will
be
framed
by
a
large
scalloped
border.
The
quilt was longarm quilted by club member, Kim Werth.
The
2022
raffle
quilt
will
be
revealed
at
the
Genesee
Valley
Quilt
Club
September
2021
meeting. Raffle tickets will be available from club members starting December 2021.
GVQC Selects Quilts of Valor as 2022 Charity
Recipient
For
each
quilt
show
Genesee
Valley
Quilt
Club
chooses
a
charity
to
receive
procedes
from
the
sale
of
tickets
for
the
raffle
(opportunity)
quilt.
It
is
with
pleasure
that
GVQC
announces
the
Finger
Lakes
chapter
of
Quilts
of
Valor
as
the
designated
charity
for
the
2022
Raffle Quilt proceeds.
The
Finger
Lakes
chapter
of
the
Quilts
of
Valor
is
a
group
first
formed
in
2015
with
the
intent
to
make a big impact in our local community!
The
local
chapter
is
part
of
the
national
Quilts
of
Valor
Foundation
whose
Mission
is
to
cover
all
military
individuals
who
have
been
touched
by
war,
active,
reserve
or
retired,
with
comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
Under
the
guidance
of
the
national
foundation
strict
regulations
are
followed
to
ensure
the
quality of each quilt awarded.
Quilts
of
Valor
quilters,
including
long-armers,
are
all
volunteers.
They
volunteer
their
time,
effort and all supplies to complete quilts. As such, they gladly accept any donations.
Barb Frost, local Quilts of Valor representative reports,
“We
have
the
privilege
of
awarding
our
quilts
to
qualified
individuals
at
a
personal
level.
We
are
dedicated
to
The
Veterans
Outreach
Center
and
have
awarded
128
quilts
to
their residents which brings our total number of quilts awarded to 259.
This
year
the
GVQC
has
chosen
the
Finger
Lakes
Quilts
of
Valor
as
their
charity
to
receive
proceeds
from
the
QuiltFest
raffle
quilt.
We
are
so
thankful
as
this
will
surely
help us to achieve our goals.”
