As part of the league’s fund raising efforts, a small group of women spends each winter crafting a quilt to raffle. This year’s quilt, “Maine’s Bounty,” is made of subtle batik fabrics in shades of blue, white and sand. The centerpiece is an intricately appliqued and embroidered basket of Maine’s bounty from both land and shore.
Raffle tickets are $1 each or seven for $5 and are available at Georgetown’s Wharf, weather permitting, the Georgetown Fireman’s Auction, Mariner’s Compass Quilt Shop in Bath, the Post Office Gallery in Georgetown and the Bath Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings.
Tickets are also available by mail at Georgetown Working League, Attn: tickets, P.O. Box 262, Georgetown ME 04548.
The quilt will be on display at Georgetown’s Wharf on weekends, at the Bath Farmers Market on Saturday mornings and at the Working League fair on Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This year’s fair will mark the league’s 100th year. The fair will be held at the Georgetown Central School, 62 Bay Point Road.
The winning quilt ticket will be drawn on Sunday, Sept. 1 at 2 p.m. on Five Islands Wharf.
