SPECIAL NOTICES

Quilt Raffle

Library raffle quilt

Lakeside residents will have the opportunity to benefit the Lake Chapala Society Library and have the opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind work of art. Raffle tickets go on sale October 1st and the person holding the winning ticket, which will be drawn on December 11th at the annual membership meeting, will receive the beautiful heirloom quilt that is on display in the LCS Reading Room.

The 76" by 93"" quilt carries an interesting history. Although the quilt blocks for this full-size quilt were made from feed sacks in the 1940s in Kentucky, Lyla Riley (born in 1931) discovered the string-pieced, four-patch blocks after her mother's death. Lyla lived most of her life in Douglas County, Illinois, and completed the hand-pieced top and assembled and hand quilted the piece there in the 1980s. The colorful quilt has been documented by the Illinois Quilt Project. A label from the Illinois State Museum verifying the quilt's recorded history is attached to this piece of art. The quilt was purchased in Arcola, Illinois, in 1993 by a long-time Ajijic quilt collector who has maintained the quilt in unused condition.

Tickets will be available from the circulation library volunteers. One ticket is $30 pesos, two tickets are $50 pesos and five tickets are $100 pesos.
