Conceived and designed by Kathy Welsh, this absolutely gorgeous
twin-size quilt
is completely handmade
and one of a kind! The individual blocks were created by
well known Chow Chow artists from the U.S. and Canada.
This year's theme is "The
Chinese Year Of The Dog" and honors the 100th anniversary of the
Chow Chow Club, Inc., established 1906. Done in sumptious
reds, golds, greens, and blues, it's a true celebration of needle arts with
blocks done in cross stitch, applique, and both hand and machine
embroidery. These pictures can't do justice to the richness
of the fabrics and beautiful details like metallic thread and
crystals.
The quilt was raffled on April 28th
at the 2006 Chow Chow Club, Inc.'s
National Specialty Show in Olympia, Washington. The lucky winner
was Karen Cox of Leatherwood Chow Chows, residing in Texas! Karen
bought her tickets online before the show.
Proceeds from the quilt raffle go to the CCCI
Welfare Fund. The Fund helps with the medical expenses of homeless
Chow Chows awaiting adoption. For more information on the CCCI
Welfare Committee and the Welfare Fund, click here.
Last year's quilt brought in over $2,500 and this year's was even more
successful, raising almost $3,500!
