PORT ANGELES — Raffle tickets for Port Angeles’ Sesquicentennial Quilt will go on sale Tuesday.
The colorful quilt, crafted by members of the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club, went on display in the Port Angeles Senior Center’s lobby, 328 E. Seventh St., last Wednesday.
It has a Pacific Northwest theme with log cabin blocks at the center, creating a star pattern, which is surrounded by tree blocks.
Other touches include bear claw blocks in the corners and flying geese blocks on the border that all contribute to the beauty of the piece.
The words “Port Angeles, Washington Sesquicentennial 1862-2012” are embroidered in the white area at the foot of the quilt, below the center block area.
The 84-inch-by-84-inch quilt was made and donated by the Sunbonnet Sue Quilters of Sequim.
In addition to the senior center, raffle tickets are available at Captain T’s Shirt Shop, Necessities and Temptations, Odyssey Bookshop, Pen Print, Port Angeles-Victoria Tourist Bureau and Port Book and News.
All proceeds will go toward signs for the newly designated historic district and restoration of the old fire station.
The drawing will be held at the Port Angeles Senior Center from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 10.
The public will be invited to the Oct. 10 drawing to eat cake and ice cream in celebration of the city’s 150th anniversary.
