As in years past, Road\u2019s Daily Raffle<\/a> giveaway was again very popular. We had so much support from our Sponsors, that on a few of the quilt show days, we held TWO Daily Raffles!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n Pollard Sew Creative<\/a> donated a Pfaff Passport<\/em> for the first Daily Raffle of the day. The winner was Rita Miranda of Chino Hills, California. She was in a vendor\u2019s booth, waiting in line to pay for her merchandise, when she heard her name over the loudspeaker. Rita has attended Road for 18 years and has been a quilter since 1999. She credits Road\u2019s founder, Carolyn Reese, as the one who \u201ctaught me how to cut by straightening out my fabrics.\u201d Rita brought two friends to the show who didn\u2019t have any way to get to Road. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t take them, they would not have been able to come.\u201d Rita\u2019s giving heart continued when she won her prize. Said Rita, \u201cI might donate this machine to a needy friend who doesn\u2019t have a machine and loves quilting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n Later in the afternoon, Jean Fry from Goodyear, Arizona, won a Bernina B330 First Love<\/em> from Mel\u2019s Sewing and Fabric Center.<\/a> It was the first time that Road had to draw 3 times<\/strong> before a winner came forward to claim their prize (One of the rules for the Daily Raffle is that the winner must be present to win). Jean received a text that she had won and RAN from the tent to accept her prize. A Road attendee for 14 years and a quilter for over 30 years, Rita likes to achieve \u201cquality accomplishment\u201d with her quilting, making things for friends. She was just elected President of the Pebble Creek Quilters Guild.<\/p>\n\n\n Moore\u2019s Sewing Centers <\/a>donated a Baby Lock Joy <\/em>won by Star Strahle of Columbia, California\u2014a town in the \u201cMother Lode\u201d area of California. This was Star\u2019s second year at Road. She brought her daughter, Wendy, who was enjoying her first experience at the show. Star has been quilting since 1993 and is excited to replace her older machines with her prize. She loves fabric; she pets it, collects it, and uses it for scrappy quilts.<\/p>\n\n\n In the afternoon,\nMoore\u2019s also donated a Janome sewing machine. The winner was George from\nHerndon, Virginia. He came to the show with his wife and her sisters. It was\ntheir first time ever to attend a quilt show as the women have only been\nquilting for a year. He thought he was coming just \u201cto be a driver and carry\neveryone\u2019s stuff.\u201d Little did he know he would be going home with a beautiful\nsewing machine!! The group was admiring the Elvis Exhibit, looking at the\nVirginia entries, when he heard his name. \u201cI just laughed,\u201d said George, \u201cAnd\nmy wife and her sisters screamed.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n There was only one giveaway winner on Saturday: 87-year-old Mary from South Bend, Indiana. She won a Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 965Q from OC Sewing and Vacuum.<\/a> This was Mary\u2019s third visit to Road. \u201cI was sitting in the hallway and thought I heard my name. I started crying and almost went into A-Fib with my pacemaker.\u201d A quilter since 1990, she loves \u201ceverything\u201d that Road has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\nThursday Giveaway\nWinners<\/h2>\n\n\n
