Scholarship Quilt Raffle
One of our talented and dedicated members, Sharon Heimann, caught the quilt-making bug only a decade ago, but her work is stunning and award-winning. Our club is very fortunate that she is so generous to purchase the materials and handcraft a stunning quilt each year for our raffle. Sometimes the quilt winner must wait to receive their quilt because the quilt is sometimes invited to enter the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo competition!
Members begin selling raffle tickets to family, friends, and local businesses in September through mid-December. The final raffle tickets are sold during the Christmas Tasting Luncheon where the lucky winner of the Scholarship Quilt is announced.
All proceeds from the quilt raffle sales goes directly into our Scholarship Fund to support local youth pursuing education beyond high school.
2025 Scholarship Quilt Raffle
The 2026 Scholarship Quilt is another handcrafted treasure by award-winning quilter, Sharon Heimann. We are so fortunate that Sharon has such a passion for education and quilting that she donates all the time and materials required to make stunning quilts to support our Scholarship Fundraising.
Below are pictures of the 2026 quilt. This stunning original one-of-a-kind quilt is a queen size (91"x91") titled "Dogwood Bliss". The detailed piecing is intricate with a deep-hued autumn palette.
Quilt raffle tickets are on sale September through the December Christmas Tasting Luncheon (2nd Wednesday in December) where the winner is announced.
Tickets are $2 each or a book of 6 tickets for $10. All proceeds go directly to local graduating seniors.
