This Quilt Could Be Yours!
Just one dollar buys you a chance to win it!
This beautiful queen-size Sailboat pattern quilt featuring the Ocracoke lighthouse and island scenes was lovingly hand-appliqued and hand-quilted by the Ocracoke Needle and Thread Club. The quilters then donated it to Ocracoke Preservation Society for their annual fundraising Quilt Raffle.
Tickets are available at the OPS Museum, where you can see the quilt in person, or by calling 252-928-7375. Tickets really are only $1 each – or 6 for $5. What a bargain! The winning ticket will be drawn at the OPS Wassail Party on December 5th. You don’t need to be present to win – they’ll mail it to you!
