When long-time PAQG guild member Dixie Loynachan lost her sight, she gave much of her "stash" and unfinished projects to guild members. They have been turned into charity quilts and special treasures. The hand applique blocks in this year's raffle quilt were made by Dixie, then Aleta Gustavson arranged them into this quilt called "Dixie's Garden." The quilt measures 86" square.
