For the last year I have headed up a committee to help raise college scholarship funds with our quilting guild, The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild. Along with a lot of help form my bee, Needle Dreamers. I don't have the numbers yet but am told that we did well. The drawing was held this last Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at our Christmas party guild meeting. I found a volunteer to pick the winning ticket. Then we went to the front of the crowd, I turned the raffle drum and our volunteer, Rachel, reached in and picked a ticket. She called out, Ruth Roesler.
To say the least I was flabbergasted! It was truly the very last name I expected to come out of there!!! I was even a little embarrassed not sure why but it all just felt wrong. I was expecting to congratulate someone or maybe to even go place a call to the winner. Well, now I am the proud owner of a queen sized quilt! Wow!
