Pine Tree Hospice

For 20 years, Helen Higgins and Rita Mountain have shared their time, talent, and heart with Pine Tree Hospice as both quilters and direct care volunteers. Since 2006, Helen and Rita have created the annual raffle quilt, dedicating countless hours to a tradition that has brought beauty and joy to our community while raising much-needed funds to support our work. Each quilt, taking around 80 hours to make, is then expertly longarm finished by Vicki Brackett of Quiltingmania.

Rita stepped away from the quilt project in 2023 due to health issues and a move to be closer to family. Helen has also announced her retirement—this year’s “HOPE” quilt will be her last raffle quilt. We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary contributions of both Helen and Rita!

Don’t miss your chance to support Pine Tree Hospice and win part of this heartwarming legacy! Contact us to purchase a raffle ticket.
