Snow Berner Quilt Health Fund Auction Item


SNOW BERNERS .

I have just completed a quilt for the Berner Health Fund Auction to be held at Portland Oregan in a couple of weeks time.  

A photo quilt celebrating the magic of berners in the snow. Photos were submitted from a far through Berner L, Berneseinoz and Calgary Berner Walk. Huge thanks to those who contributed from Australia, Canada and the US.  The quilt features our beloved dogs enjoying the snow as only Bernese dogs know how. It is with sadness that a couple of these beautiful dogs are no longer with us. Willie and Darby have passed to the Rainbow Bridge.

There are 20 panels featuring the dogs balanced with glittering snow flakes. The images are framed with dog speak words.   It is backed with snow flake fabric and approximately 1 metre x 1 metre.  The quilt was machine stitched. Hanging tabs have been made to attach to the quilt if required.

A panel is attached to the rear acknowledging the dogs and the photographers of our beautiful dogs.

And yes I will make a memorial quilt for anyone who would like one. I can be contacted on hancock.ca@gmail.com
