Greetings from Portland, Oregon! As many of you are aware, the Oregon Ferret Assoc is raffling a quilt at our Fun Match in August. The proceeds will benefit the ferret shelter we support. We are making very good progress. We need 48 blocks and are just about halfway to our goal. I am impressed with the craftsmanship of the quilt blocks, and think you will be too. The OFA's website now has an area where you can view some of the quilt blocks. You'll see an Australian black swan, an Australian brush possum, Grandmother's Fan, sulfur crested cockatoo, Log cabin, Blue wren, and several more. We will be updating the site with more blocks about every week to 10 days. Coming soon: Squirrel, rainbow lorikeet, Australian echidna, ferrets, and hummingbird. To get to the OFA's website, go to: http://www.teleport.com/~leonard/ofa/ofa.html We hope you will be inspired to donate a quilt block(s) or purchase a raffle ticket or two. Thanks Sandy Streit and Amy Evers [Posted in FML issue 1899]
