The 4th Annual Quilt Raffle!

For the fourth year in a row, Barbara Edwards, a quiltmaker from Seeley Lake, Montana, has generously offered to make another beautiful quilt for us and raffle it off, with 100% of the proceeds going to the animals at the ranch.

Barbara and her husband Scott came by yesterday afternoon to show us her latest quilt.  I took the photo of Barbara and Scott in our welcome center.  (Alayne belongs to the mysterious fingers holding up the quilt in the middle.)

The dimensions are 60" x 70".  This year's quilt is called 'Deputy Dogs' ... and you can see why!

Here's a close-up of the quilt detail:

The raffle details are:

-- Tickets available for $5 each ... and this year there's no limit to the number of tickets!

-- Make your check payable to Barbara Edwards

-- Please send your check directly to Barbara Edwards, P.O. Box 104, Seeley Lake, Montana, 59868

-- Barbara will fill out the raffle ticket stub with the information you send with your check ... please make sure she has your full name, address and phone number

-- If you want your portion of the ticket(s) mailed back to you, please send Barbara a stamped, self-addressed envelope

-- All tickets must be purchased by July 15, 2009

-- In addition to posting the raffle on the blog, Barbara will be displaying the quilt and selling tickets at three venues in nearby communities

-- The drawing will be held at the ranch shortly after July 15 and the winner will be announced on the blog as well as notified personally

Note that Alayne and I are not handling the raffle, so please don't send any money for tickets to the ranch.

There you go ... Deputy Dogs!  (Or to be more hip, maybe we should say "Deputy Dogz"?)

Thank you, Barbara!

Barbara, this is a wonderful gift you give to the RDR & each year you awe us with your great designs & talent. Thank you so much for doing this for RDR! Scott, I guess you have to fend for yourself sometimes while Barbara is quilting, so we appreciate you doing that as well. For all that you two do, I thank you so very much!
Big hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & Tlingit

Gorgeous quilt! So whimsical! What a gift Barbara has, and how generous of her to do this each year for you!

The label idea is a great one - I will be sure to include some when I send my donation to Barbara - thanks for the idea, Mary Ann!

That's a gorgeous quilt! Love the detail & what a lot of hard work & such a generous gift to RDR. Can't wait to test my luck!

Mary Ann F. that is a great idea about the address labels.

Beautiful quilt! Everyone who sends a check to Barbara should consider enclosing some of the hundreds of address labels you no doubt have. Barbara can stick them on your raffle tickets and just add your phone number...get rid of some labels, and save Barbara lots of writing.
