For the fifth year in a row, quiltmaker Barbara Edwards from Seeley Lake, Montana, has produced another stunning quilt to raffle off as a benefit for the animals here. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the ranch. Barbara and her husband Scott came by on Friday to show us her latest beautiful creation. Barbara's family named this quilt "Road Trip: Montana to New Hampshire 2010."
(I used my powers of levitation to suspend the quilt in mid-air to get
that photo above.)
The dimensions are 60" x 84" (152 cm x 213 cm).
You'll notice that some of the cats in the quilt have caught fish to take along for the journey:
It may not be easy to tell from this photo, but the dogs' ears are actually flaps of quilted fabric:
For the horse lovers, the other side of the quilt looks like this:
(My powers of levitation were beginning to droop by the time I took that photo.)

So there you have it … a quilt representing all of the sanctuary animals who are making the trip to New Hampshire. (Well, except we aren't taking any fish that I'm aware of.)

My levitation powers are finally revealed to be … Barbara on the left, Scott doing his best Wilson imitation from the sitcom Home Improvement, and Alayne:
Barbara's quilt raffle has brought in thousands of dollars each year for the animals, so this has turned into an amazing fundraiser for the ranch!
Thank you so much, Barbara!
