The love of the Tripawds community is felt wherever you roam, from the Tripawds Discussion Forums to the Tripawds Helpline and beyond. And starting this Monday, October 1st, you can surround yourself with even more Tripawds magic if you place the winning bid for the 2018 Tripawds Quilt Auction!
This Tripawds Quilt Heirloom Could Be Yours!
Handmade quilts sure are precious heirlooms. There’s none more special than those made by our talented Tripawd member, Kathi Swindell. As parent to Amazing Ollie and Angels Murphy and Gus, Kathie and her crafty daughter have created another winning work of art for this year’s auction to help Tripawds Foundation.
The Swindell women generously created two works of art, just for this auction.
One large quilt measures 72″ x 72″ and
the second pet-sized one measures 28″ x 27.5.
The colorful dog and cat themed front is backed with dreamy matching fabric guaranteed to put a smile on your face every morning. You’ll have a hard time deciding if you want to use them to keep you and your pets warm, or decorate your home with these one-of-a-kind pieces of art.

This actually brings tears to my eyes. 💖
Tears because I’m so touched by the generous hearts behind the making of these quilts. So touched because Murphy and Gus are still having such a powerful impact on this Tripawd community.
So touched because, ql5hough Murphy and Gus are at the Bridge together, they sent Ollie to their Mom and Dad so he could know what it felt like to FINALLY be loved ❤
And then, tears in my eyes because of the beauty of this incredible one of a kind masterpiece!! It is stunning! It is jouful!! It is definitely “warm and fuzzy”! Lastly, but not least, every single stitch, every single design, every single creative thought put into the layout of this gleeful quilt…..ALL DONE WITH SO MUCH LOVE. SO MUCH HEART. SO MUCH SOUL💖💖
Lots of love
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
