Members of the group led by Gloria Bleidner and Sandra Sievers are participating in a community project which will culminate with the creation of a quilt in a traditional pattern using batik fabrics.  The completed quilt will be given to BAFFA and will be used as a fundraising raffle quilt.  All proceeds from the raffle will be used to present music and cultural events for the community.  Raffle chances will be available beginning in March at all area concerts and art events at the Gallery.
