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 Homespun”
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
