Scott Bruns, MGPS President and CEO, drew the winning ticket on October 7 at Dewey Beach, Del. The following letter was received from the winner:

Imagine my delight.... hearing the message on returning home from a four Island Anniversary trip to Hawaii, that I'd won the greyhound quilt. The purchase of the winning ticket was made during a visit (2 days prior to leaving) at Silver Scissors, World Headquarters in Camden Maine. Chris Freebody was selling tickets and asked me if I would like to take a chance. Feeling in a fortunate state of mind and with a positive upbeat attitude, I bought several!! I have a true appreciation for all the fine handiwork that went into this quilt because as a child, I had watched my grandmother make patchwork quilts from discarded clothing. They were pure masterpieces in my mind... and so is this fantastic quilt. I have an area in the stairwell leading to the second floor of my home where the quilt will be on display and will be protected from the effects of sunlight. I wish to truly thank all involved in this project and please know the quilt is in my tender loving care.
Thank you,
Linda Kierstead, Camden, Maine.

 Eleanor & Peggy Love Greyhounds, III
“Forever Homes
pun

This quilt is the last in a series of three unique quilts made by Eleanor Greenwood of ME, who hand-appliquéd the squares, and Peggy Voakes of VT, who pieced and quilted the top by hand and machine. The quilt is all cotton and measures 65” x 80”. The greyhound squares are made from a variety of calico and shirting fabrics. They are sashed with muslin and homespun plaids, giving the quilt an antique New England look. Finished with a sleeve for hanging, this quilt will impart that warm, traditional feeling to any room in which it is displayed. It has also been professionally tested and is guaranteed nap-worthy, making you feel as warm and cozy as your greyhound is, curled up asleep on your sofa.
“Forever Homespun” clearly shows Eleanor’s and Peggy’s love of greyhounds. Show your support of MGPS and love of greyhounds by taking a chance to make it yours.

Tickets: $1.00/each; 6/$5.00; 13/$10.00
