Last year, Cabin Fever Quilters donated a total of 130 quilts to those causes.

Her quilts will be front and center stage.

This year’s quilt, “The Goose Has Left the Pond,” by Larisa Keys, has a neutral color palette of creams, browns and a bit of cranberry.

The drawing will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $1 each, the same price they were 32 years ago.
