Stoughton Quilters Raffling off Queen Size Quilt to Fundraise for Senior Center

The Stoughton Quilters meet Thursdays at the Stoughton Senior Center. The raffle, which will benefit the Senior Center, will take place at the end of April. In the meantime, the quilt will be on display at the Stoughton Public Library.

The following is submitted by the Stoughton Quilters group: 

The Stoughton Quilters who meet at the Senior Center once a week (Thursdays, 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.) appreciate the help that the staff gives to them. One way they chose to show that appreciation was to raffle a queen size quilt with the proceeds being donated to the Senior Center.

The quilt hung at the Quilter's Boutique in November at the Senior Center and will hang at the Stoughton Public Library for viewing during March and April.
