Hi all, I have recently volunteered to Co-chair a fund raising project (along with Sandy Streit) for OFA to benefit the Oregon Ferret Shelter. I think it's a great idea, and hope you all will too!! We are going to put together a quilt (maybe more than one???) made of donated squares, to be raffled off hopefully in August at the OFA Fun Match. If you would like to participate, you can donate 1 or 2 squares and you will get 1 raffle ticket for each square donated! Or you can just donate one dollar per raffle ticket, and have a chance to win a great quilt, and support a great cause....Ferrets!! Guidelines for quilt squares are as follows. Finished size of squares should be 10 inches square, and made of pre washed, washable cotton/calico type fabric. Please no denim, polyester, nylon, etc. You can make your squares in any type of pattern; such as pieced, embroidered, appliqued. (No marker colored, puff painted, etc. due to durability/washability) You may use Ferrets as a motif, or not as you please. The only other thing I ask is that you use a bit of thought in designing your squares, because we do not know who will win the Quilt(s), and don't wish to risk offending anyone. At this time I ask that no one send any more than 2 squares. I estimate about 48 squares per quilt, and would be tickled to offer 2, maybe even 3 quilts to raffle, but I don't really want to end up with enough to make a circus tent!! ;) Any one who wants to donate squares can mail them to me (Amy) at the following address. 9210 NE Crooked River Dr. Terrebonne, OR 97760 I will be putting the quilt(s) together, and will get a picture of some sort up on the net as soon as I can. Any one who wants tickets may send mail to Sandy Streit. 3145 SW Maricara St Portland, OR 97219 Or call: after 5pm pacific (503) 293-4175 Amy, Katie & Worf "Here's Dookin' at you Kit" PS: Hey Dick Bossart!! I see the Face in the Ferret Calendar too! Eye, Nose, Frown... and even a widows peak!! You are not crazy!! ;} [Posted in FML issue 1810]
