Quilt Raffle at FriendShop
The Thimbleweeds Quilt Group of Rio Rancho has donated a beautiful quilt to be raffled at the Friends of Libraries and Literacy FriendShop bookstore. All funds from the raffle will be used to support childhood literacy.
The quilt is about 53 by 53 inches and is done in southwest colors. It’s now on display in the front of the FriendShop. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.
Raffle tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. The winner will be chosen by random drawing on Wednesday, June 9, by a member of Thimbleweeds and will be notified by phone. You do not have to be present to win.
While you’re checking out the quilt, check out the hardback and paperback books for children, teens and adults, CDs, DVDs, jigsaw puzzles, recent magazines, audio books, handmade cards, quilted bokmarks and comics that are for sale at the FriendShop. (We even have some vinyl LPs!) All profits are used to support libraries and literacy in Sandoval County.
