This Quilt Panel was created by The Prescott Quilter's Guild and I won it in a raffle when I first moved to Prescott. My photo was in the Prescott Daily Courier with the panel and I have enjoyed having it hanging in my house. The Guild raffled it off to raise money for Cancer Research.
I now am donating this panel to be part of the Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery Holiday Fundraiser Art Show. 100% of the money from this art show goes to benefit the CCJ Open Door - Share the Abundance -
Opens: Nov. 15, 2010 and Ends: Dec. 26,2010
