2016 - 2017Opportunity Quilt
"Spirit of Chino"
|
The quilt pattern for "Spirit of Chino" was selected and pieced together by many members. Opportunity Quilt Chairman Susan Gates-Harms and her committee invited members to gather 'round at Susan's home to create this magnificent quilt. Members worked many hours to complete it.
The colors are brilliant and the varied quilting is supreme. Browse the gallery of snippets to see the quilting that was done by Cindy Phare. Beautiful but hard work! |
"Spirit of Chino" is based on a Julie Herman design.

Each Opportunity Quilt is created by a different Chino Valley Quilters member or group of members every other year and raffled off to raise funds supporting our work in the community.
We begin selling raffle tickets about a year prior to the quilt show and display the Opportunity Quilt at community events around Chino Valley, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Flagstaff and many other Arizona locations. A new Opportunity Quilt is presented at each biennial show. Funds raised from each Opportunity Quilt raffle help the Chino Valley Quilters donate quilts to area children, families, veterans and many others. |
