The 2023 Opportunity Quilt tickets are on sale now. You can purchase online at http://mountainpiecemakersquiltguild.org/ticket-purchase or from any guild member. The quilt is being displayed at The Quilt Shop on Hwy 19 near Spruce Pine during July. Additional pictures can be viewed on the website.
This will be the eleventh year for the distribution of Hero Quilts to local veterans from Yancey, Mitchell, and Madison counties. During that time MPQG members have made and donated over 500 quilts to honor those who have served in our military. We also want to thank Mountain Air Giving Fund for the grant we received to assist with these costs during 2022 and 2023, the Burnsville Rotary for the work they do to honor our heroes on Flags for Heroes Day in November, Yancey Journal, WKYK and Yancey Graphics for their support of our Hero Quilt project.
The quilt is queen size, 96 by 96 inches, made by a team of guild members and was custom longarm quilted by Sherry Bohres of Beelog Art Quilts. The drawing for the quilt will take place at the Veterans Day celebration in November. You do not need to be present to win. The quilt will be shipped to the winner if needed. Thank you for your support of our community service projects.
2023 Opportunity Quilt Tickets are 3 for $5
