22. Beautiful Handmade Berner Quilt
Annie writes: "This quilt has been a pleasure to make. It was inspired by my beloved Harry Brat (Zanzebern Shining Knight, who died from a brain tumor on 22 March 2008 aged 5 years, 9 months) and Harry Potter (Zanzebern Sir Gawain- my foster dog - euthanized because of lymphosarcoma aged 5 years, 3 weeks (January 2008). Harry Brat was my introduction to Bernese and so began a love affair. Harry Potter was Gideon’s brother, who lived with us on and off for the best part of 2.5 years, whilst his human mother battled and subsequently lost her own cancer fight. Hence I could not let the 2009 Health Auction pass without making a small contribution in memory of Helen and the Harrys...." read more of the Oregon Quilt Story
