The Big Quilt Giveaway


This year is Providence Baptist Church's (my home church) 100th year.  The church has had a year of celebration in honor of this big year.  They collected quilt pieces from the church family members and a lady from the church made a quilt to give away during homecoming.  As we arrived a greeter gave everyone a "chance" at the quilt, kiddos and all.  I would guess around 200 or so chances were in that box.  They had special music, a time of recognition for members, guest speakers, etc.  Right at the end was the big quilt giveaway.  Joy, a lady from church went up and held the box of chances out for Brother Shane to pick the winner.  She took it back and shook it some more for good measure...then he took out a name.  Steven DeWitt!!  We couldn't believe it, Steven won the quilt.  I think some of the ladies would've liked to taken it away from him, one even offered him money for it, but he made it out safely-quilt in hand.  We have the quilt stored in the closet until we decide exactly what we need to do with it.  Do we keep it out?-do we put it up?  We're not sure......

  1. That is SOO cool! I never win anything! Didn't you say that you use mostly quilts in your house? I would definitely have it out some way. Very neat.

  2. Yes, we all have quilts-I guess I'm afraid of messing it up!
