Quilt at the ARBA History Library

In Domestic Rabbits, we have read so much about the ARBA History Library. Bob Whitman spearheaded the project, many people donated money, history items, books, and time to make this room a success. In issues of Domestic Rabbits, we saw black and white photos and many articles about the room, but we have never seen a color photo.

Our Indiana member Candy went to the ARBA office to deliver items that she donated and took some pictures. She is sharing the pictures with us.

The first two pictures showcase the beautiful quilt made by Lorena Ferchuld. Candy reports that the quilt is a lot larger than she thought, it is very well made. Each square is decorated with a patch from a specialty club. At the time of her visit two weeks ago, Angora patch had yet to arrive.

Lorena who so generously donated her time, material cost and skill is our local show exhibitor. She is shown here working on a youth contest in a show. Her Rhinelander "Highwayman" has recently won the breed national. Highwayman is featured on the cover of the current issue of Domestic Rabbits.

From the two top pictures, we see how beautiful the quilt is. It covers the entire conference table. On the wall there are photos and plaques of historical value.

Thanks to Candy for the treat. There will be more pictures to come.
