Who doesn’t adore winning a raffle basket? No one that I know. Making a raffle basket is a lot of fun, but winning a raffle basket is over the moon happiness. Let’s get in the spirit and make a Raffle Basket for the 2025 FCQ Quilt Show!
To raise money for the guild. All monies raised from ticket sales goes directly to the guild. At the Quilt Show in 2023, $2,460 was raised; we would like to exceed that amount this year. Members of FCQ benefit directly from the sale of raffle basket tickets through not only great speakers and workshops, but money that is put into reserves to pay for our meeting location and other necessities.
Who Can Contribute:
We will accept raffle baskets from any member of our guild, any group from our guild such as a Bee, or any vendor. We will also accept a gift basket donated from a retail store.
What are the Specifics:
All baskets must be wrapped prior to drop off
Drop off for all baskets will be Friday night (September 19) at the school, no exceptions. The location (entrance door) and time for drop off has yet to be determined
Signup sheets will be passed around the guild meetings beginning in April and ending in August. If you cannot attend a meeting for signup, please get in touch with either of the Co-Chairs.
A Description Sheet must be attached to the basket at the time of drop off. The form is available here or contact either of the Co-Chairs.
No alcohol, spirits or wine, the school does not permit it inside their doors
No broken objects within the basket please; be sure to pad any fragile items sufficient for transport
Food is acceptable, however, 1) it cannot be expired; and 2) it must be sealed within the wrapped basket -- no open food items. Remember, we are in a public space and we do not want to subject people with allergies to mayhem when they least expect it
Please list any common allergens contained within the basket on the description sheet
What is Accepted:
