2010 Freedom Quilts Raffle Quilt Winner

For the pass four years now Freedom Quilts has been making one quilt to raffle off so we can use the funding to make quilts for our fallen soldiers families. This is one way of raising money. Last year our winner was Leona Babb from AZ this year winner is Virginia Carlson from Storm Lake Iowa. Freedom Quilts theme is always Patriotic and this year was no different just different design. We are already planning our 2011 raffle quilt so we hope many more would join in see if you would be lucky and win. Thanks to all that helped without your help Freedom Quilts would not be able to do all that it does for families. God bless you all

Freedom Quilts Mural

Our artist Kate was kind enough to draw a mural that will overwhelm you when you see it. It came from the heart with lots of love for the families of 9/11 and for our fallen soldiers families. Our shop is open by appointment on which you can see this beautiful mural along with other things we have and stories of how Freedom Quilts came about and why it must continue.

2010 Raffle Quilt

Again we plan on making a raffle quilt help continue this project making quilts to comfort fallen soldiers' families. For every $25.00 donation Freedom Quilts will add your name to the drawing help make this a success so we can continue to help other families.
