What’s next for Terrazzo?

“Terrazzo”, our 2026 Raffle Quilt, thanks everyone for the warm reception. Raffle quilt tickets sold briskly at both meetings last month, so the RQ Sales team of Angela Raymond and Patty Murphy stayed busy after the reveal. Angela Raymond will be bringing Terrazzo to all guild meetings between now and the quilt show, and tickets will be available at meetings. She has also scheduled RQ appearances and ticket sales at other locations, including meetings of other guilds and local quilt stores. Please watch for emails to help at our ticket booths when we need additional staffing beyond Angela’s presence. It’s so cool to stand close to the Raffle Quilt and enjoy the workmanship.



Thanks to these talented members who

brought Terrazzo to life:

Online RQ Sales chair Patty Murphy will send you a pic of all your raffle tickets labeled and ready to go!

Steve has a good point - We do not expect guild members to provide all of the raffle quilt income.


Buy a packet of 24 raffle tickets for $20 when you come to guild meetings. Sell them 1 for $1 or 6 tickets for $5.


You only need to turn in the completed tickets with the name and contact information of the buyers, and you keep the money that you get from the ticket buyer.


Share the RQ link on our quilt show website in emails to friends and family or share the link on your Facebook or Instagram pages.
