[from the website]

Conceived and designed by Kathy Welsh, this absolutely gorgeous twin-size quilt is completely handmade and one of a kind! The individual blocks were created by well known Chow Chow artists from the U.S. and Canada.

This year's theme is "The Chinese Year Of The Dog" and honors the 100th anniversary of the Chow Chow Club, Inc., established 1906. Done in sumptious reds, golds, greens, and blues, it's a true celebration of needle arts with blocks done in cross stitch, applique, and both hand and machine embroidery. These pictures can't do justice to the richness of the fabrics and beautiful details like metallic thread and crystals.

The quilt will be raffled on April 28th at the 2006 Chow Chow Club, Inc.'s National Specialty Show in Olympia, Washington. You do not have to be present to win! If you're not at the show, we'll notify you and ship the quilt to you at our expense -- even if you live outside the U.S. Buy tickets here.
