The Story Behind the Quilt

We foster for a great organization Lap Dog Rescue. Bentley was one of several dogs given up by a homeless woman who was convinced she couldn’t take care of so many dogs. The pelt sitting next to him was on his back; matted fur. It took me 4 hours to slowly clip it off his back. He also had a cut around his hind leg as if he had gotten tangled in some string or wire. The quilt “I Am the Face of Rescue” was inspired by him.

This was Bentley 5 years ago when he came into our lives.

This is Bentley about 6 months ago 2020.

This was the quilt. It toured with the SAQA Textile Posters exhibit for two years.
