Fabric & Friends is RMQM's Annual Auction type fundraiser.
May 17, 2025

Although RMQM has several different fundraisers each year, Fabric & Friends is an opportunity for supporters and friends of the museum to come together, enjoy some fabulous food, and gather up some hand curated goodies or experience packages while increasing the operating funds for RMQM. 

Each year our theme guides the fun - and we have multiple price levels of items for purchase. Past years have included:
         
         Experience Packages for Area places of interest
         Restaurant packages

         Baskets of theme related items
         Wine Wall - mystery bottle selection
         Mystery Bags - selection of a bag by label 
         Quilts - antique or more current - lovely selection
         Pottery, China, Glassware - specialty items
         Bundles of coordinated or related fabrics
         Kits
         Specialty Puzzles 
         Jewelry
         
Donations by Sponsors and Special Friends of            the Museum - often some of our past exhibitors and quilt artists.
