A lady named Miss Becky wrote to mom and sent her the raffle numbers and asked her for our email addy just in case we win. 
On May 1st, we got on our computer very early as we always do and we found an email from Miss Becky telling us that we won the StAireway To Heaven quilt! Mom couldn't believe her eyes! And she kept pinching herself the whole day through to make sure she wasn't dreaming.The quilt was made by Kathy Patterson and mom has received a few emails from her so it's for real - mom wasn't dreaming! whooooooooohooooooooooo
We also found out that the quilt has raised $1230.00 and that's just awesome!
Would you guys like to see Kathy's Dales?
Meet Ruby and Sam! Aren't they cuties?!
The quilt has arrived at our house and we can't decide if it looks better on mom and dad's bed~
Or on the bed in the guestroom. What do you guys think? Which bed should get it?
Of course Mitch thinks the quilt looks the best on him!
We can't tell you how many times mom has run up and down the stairs just to stand in the doorway and stare at this beautiful Airedale quilt and smile! It truly is a work of art!Thank you so very much, Kathy! You are one awesome Airedale quilter!
So until next time................
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Oh my doGness! The quilt is absolutely fabulous! You are such lucky pups! Our mom has no luck when it comes to stuffs like that. She's a perpetual loser! It looks great on both beds!

That quilt was meant for your estate. I know what you mean about mom just admiring it. Mine does the same thing with our guestroom quilt sometimes. Just stands there looking at it.

That is so beautiful. You guys are so lucky. We agree with Mack, go buy a lottery ticket.

Congratulations! It is wonderful. And we don't know where we like it best, but we think we kind of like it best on Mitchie. but only if he shares with you, miss Maggie.

That is a very beautiful quilt! If I had one, I'd be staring at it too and admiring it!! It looks good on either bed! Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful quilt! Your Mom sure was lucky to have won it! We can't decide which room it looks best in!
ReplyDeleteSam
We are so thrilled that your mom won this beautiful quilt!!! We know she's contributed to other airedale quilts -- so her winning this one makes pawfect sense.
ReplyDeleteWe think the quilt looks beautiful in either room; but here are our thoughts. If it's in the bedroom, then it will be folded back some of the time when the bed isn't made (what, an unmade bed??? never happens, right?). If it's in the guest rom, then it will most always be fully visible to run and take a peek!!
But it's beautiful no matter where it is.
Wirey love and hoorays!!!
Jake and Just Harry
OMD Maggie...that is just the most bootiful thing ever! I think it should be on your Mom and Dad's bed so they can snuggle with it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy she won!!!
Lots of licks, Ruby
Hey there M&M!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is exquisite! What a thrill to win it! Im busy with a 'Grandmothers Flower Quilt" at the moment. It's going to take me years to finish as its all done by hand.
My vote: The guest bedroom! It is really beautiful.

What talent! That is one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen! I can't possibly vote here, cause no matter where that work of art was, it would make any bed look amazing - sorry I'm no help!

Well, aren't you the good luck Dales? That is a wonderful quilt and looks great on either bed. We're green with envy around here.
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie & Mitch!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! I'm still pretty new at it and hope to become better at regular updates. Also glad to hear you know my friend Bogie--he's a cool dude! We live in the same city too.
Look forward to reading about your adventures!
xoxo, Scout
OMD! That is one Most Beautiful quilt! Yippee! I'm glad you won it.
ReplyDeleteAnd my vote is for it to be on your mom and dad's bed. That way she can admire it even when she wakes up first thing in the morning.

Mayzie
This is just beautiful and if our Mom won it, she be checking it out every few minutes. We heard mutterings that she'd like to make a Scottie one like it. ARRROOO!!!

I never put two and two together and realized it was you that won. This is wonderful! And it looks great wherever you end up putting it- especially with a real live 'Dale beside it. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness and dogness! congrats to you, Maggie and Mitch's Mom! What a great story and a beautiful quilt. So glad it went to a great home!

It looks great everywhere. And to think of all the airedales who will benefit!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
Our Auntie Sue from Victoria told us you'd won the quilt. Its awesome!!
ReplyDeleteNow we may be a little bias but we think it should go in the guest bedroom whaaa haaa haa haaa haaa haaa....hehe.

Wooohoo!! I'm doing my happy jig for your Mom Maggie and Mitch, that's the bestest news. Looks beautiful on either bed. Maybe on one bed for summer then the other for winter? You can enhance it in either that way too!
ReplyDeleteWiry love Eric xx
How wonderful! What a work of art, AND it's good for cuddling too! We vote for the guest bedroom, but only because we liked the airedale stuffy sitting on top of it :)

What a purrty blanket. We could get some good snoozes under that beauty

Hi Sue and the dales,
ReplyDeleteSue that is a work of art and you want to care for it. If no sun comes in the guest room it should live there. Don't let sun on it where ever it ends up!! You are so lucky to have won a quilt!! It is worth a lot of money!!!! If you want to keep it for your grandchild don't put it on your bed b/c then you would have to wash it from time to time. Washing is the quilt's enemy. That will really shorten it's life!!!!
I am glad to help on the care of quilts.
XXOO, Fern
That quilt found just the right home! We love it!
ReplyDeleteWyatt
That is a beautiful quilt. I wish we could have one with little bulldogs on it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you guys! That is a beautiful quilt! Your mummy could keep swapping it from one bed to the other because it looks great on either bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever lady Kathy is but then she has very sweet models ;)

That quilt is gorgeous. I like how the Airedales are climbing the stairway to Heaven... so glad it got a great home!! I like it on your bed. Even better if you had a wall to display it... so pretty and for such a worthy cause.
