QUILT RAFFLE TO BENEFIT DEXTER PUBLIC HEALTH.
DRAWING TO BE HELD DURING DEXTER TOWN COUNCIL MEETING IN OCTOBER.
$2 each or $6 for 4 tickets.

By Beth Ranagan

Summertime in Maine is typified by fairs and festivals featuring fun, food, and raffles. This year at Dexter’s Hot Dog Festival, the Dexter Public Health Association will raffle a summery quilt called “Side-Walk Chalk” by its creator Rosemarie O’Toole.

The bright raspberry, yellow, green, and blue shades of color on a white background recall the happy feeling of cool snow cones on a hot summer day. Cool Maine nights in summer, on the other hand, are an invitation to snuggle under this queen-size quilt after the festival is over.

Rosemarie O’Toole is a Dexter resident who has been quilting for over 30 years. She co-leads the popular quilt club and teaches quilting at the Commons at Central Hall in Dover-Foxcroft. Each summer, she volunteers at Maine Quilts, a state-wide quilt show in Augusta. She is a member of the Dexter Public Health Association.

Another Dexter Public Health Association member, Dexter resident, and veteran 25-year quilter, Shirley Grant, assisted O’Toole with the final block assembly and delivered the piece to long-arm quilter Edith Rideout in Mattawamkeag. Rideout is well-known by quilters throughout the country for her work. The quilt stitch pattern “Whimsical Cloud” was used to complete the project.

Quilt-making is part of the rich historical culture and lore of this country and many countries of the world. A quilt harkens to a particular time, event, and place giving it special meaning. This year’s quilt is a unique creation for the winner to enjoy and cherish.

Raffle tickets are $2 each or 4 tickets for $6. They can be purchased in Dexter at the library, the town office, Snowflakes, and from DPHA members. The quilt can be viewed at the Abbott Memorial Library.

The proceeds from the raffle support the free, in-home nursing services rendered by Dexter Public Health professionals. The services are free to any resident of Dexter, Garland, or Ripley regardless of income.
