The crafters of the Sarina Fibre Arts Group have pooled their talents to support the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre.
The group has donated three beautiful quilts which are being raffled to raise funds for the Craft Centre, with $2 tickets now available and drawn on September 17.
One of the quilts is an exquisite creation which was started by the sister of Heather Ruddell, who was a long-time supporter of the Arts and Crafts Centre.
“Heather’s sister became ill and wasn’t able to finish it and gave it to the Fibre Arts for them to finish it,” Sarina Arts and Crafts manager Jenny Costello said.
“The Fibre Arts crafters decided that they would finish it and donate it to the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre.”
Jennifer said the while it was a club project for the Fibre Arts Group, much of the work on the quilt was done by Celia Gutchslag and Margaret Schwarzrock.
Another prize is a hand-embroidered quilt by the late Dulcie Christensen, which was donated to the Fibre Arts Group by her son Glen. Gayle Tomerini did much of the work to finish it off.
Fibre Arts crafter Val Pearce hand-knitted another prize of a woolen quilt.
Tickets are available at the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre or from members of the centre and will be sold at Sarina IGA on selected days. The prizes will be drawn on September 17.
