Barbara Edwards, the quilter from Seeley Lake, Montana who has done an awesome annual quilt raffle for us several years running, just held the drawing for the 2011 quilt raffle. Barbara asked her local vet, Dr. Tanya Fyfe from Seeley Swan Veterinary Clinic, to pick the winning raffle ticket -- thank you, Dr. Fyfe!
And the winner is ... Debbie E. from Missoula, Montana!
The total from the raffle was a fabulous $1,200! Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets -- and thank you again to Barbara for doing such beautiful work to benefit our disabled animals!

Hello RDF. When I wash our wool blankets, I save the great lint they make for the heavy concentration of bird visitors. I save the mesh produce bags and hang it on our trellis with the grapes and clematis vines. In the spring the NH birds would love you for all that wool like outer hair and the soft downy under fluff for their nests. Just an idea of what to do with Pretty boy Mitches trimmings. Carolyn
