Steve Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Just a final update on this . We had the quilt hanging in the foyer at the Jika in Melbourne for everyone who attended the awards to admire.Everyone loved it and marvelled at the work that went into it It really is spectacular and it was very humbling to see the care and feelings that were tied up in every single square. It looks great and feels great and Ive no doubt that Jed will be able to cherish it for ever and remember how people were over come with her plight and came together to make such a beautiful memento. Seriously I cant find the words to tell you all how wonderful you are and how well you demonstrated what many of us get from coming here to dogz. A sense of belonging - of community. The quilt was presented to Troy as part of the evening and he was entrusted to ensuring Jed recieved it and it has now been handed over. Rainy - awesome! Thank you Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Well done Julie on getting the ball rolling, ensuring it was sent safely to Jed, and all the creative people who were involved. What an awesome gift to treasure. Just saw the pics of the whole quilt on a previous page ! WOW !! amazing how all the different styles & colours come together so beautifully. I also shed a tear when I saw that our very own Norskgra was involved in the thread. What an amazing bunch of people :-))) fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Just to let you all know that the quilt arrived safely - and to quote Fifi, who said it much better than I could "What an awesome gift to treasure" The quilt is awesome, and beautiful. thanks to everyone and anyone who did anything towards this marvellous project. To I:heart: Bindi~Boo, what a cute chick!! Is that a nest or a pocket he is peeking out of? To Dodo for the great looking kitties; to Hon Bun and dogbesotted, embroiderers extraordinary, what beautiful embroidery; Thanks for the sentiment expressed in No.22 - how true. Dogbesotted, I'll catch up with you; and Hon Bun whose fingers are far from clumsy!! to Christinex - I'll think of you everytime I see Duke on the quilt. It will be hard to forget Flat Chat and Alix (not that I would want to), with their signatures on the quilt; Boronia (and Lynn), thank you for the Westies and Scotties and Bones - little terrors everywhere. To whoever did the bay horses - great to have horses on the quilt too. I love the sentiment expressed in No 20, I love the wise owl, and No 24. To everyone who donated fat quarters - thank you - they are really nice, with the cows, cats, geese, dogs, and the many designs and patterns. All together to make something wonderful and unforgettable. To anyone who made any contribution at all - even if you weren't mentioned, or wanted to be anonymous, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. To Rainy, you did the most marvellous (and huge) job of tying it all together, looks fantastic. Thanks to Julie too for the original idea, for the encouragement, and for taking the quilt to the awards venue so people could see it - it deserves it. And thanks to Troy for posting it. This is a wonderul and meaningful memento of the lovely caring people of dol, and your ability to pull together to create a beautiful and lasting expression of that concern. Thank you all so much.
