For the sixth year in a row (!), quiltmaker Barbara Edwards from Seeley Lake, Montana, has made another gorgeous quilt to raffle off as a benefit for the animals here. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the farm. Barbara emailed us photos of the 2011 quilt last week.
As you can see, this year she incorporated photos of some of our special animals in the quilt. Starting in the top row, that's Patti, Widget, Katie, Madison, Ella, Samantha, Cedar and Moose. Barbara's daughter Candace has named this year's quilt "PUPARAZZI." The size is approximately 85 inches by 101 inches.
The raffle details are:
-- Tickets available for $5 each ... and 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 Tuesday, August 9, 2011
-- In addition to posting the raffle on the blog, Barbara will be displaying the quilt and selling tickets at a few venues in nearby communities
-- The drawing will be held shortly after August 9 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 farm.
Thank you so much, Barbara!
Great to see the quilt on the aspcapro.org blogsite. Hope it results in more raffle tix sales for a great donation to RDF from MT Barbara.

Barbara, what a knock out of the ballpark on this years quilt! I've noticed that each year you outdo yourself from the previous year, and this year is no different. What a great addition to having special images of some of the RDR stars! Thank you for the many creative hours and labor of love that you put into making this lovely quilt to help out! (I wish I had some of that cooler Seeley Lake air, as it's over 100F here again today. Or really close!)
Bless you for continuing to give your time and talent to this marvelous cause!
Hugs all around,
ginger

As always, Barbara has made another beautiful quilt. She is so talented at quilting and generous with her time. And this year it has the photos of the doggies from the farm - how beautiful! I can't wait to send in my dollars for the tickets. And Steve, how about that Margaret update? Thanks!
