Hey All- I am putting together the power point presentation for the art show/auction and I need photos of safe horses. Before and afters photos, photos of you or your kids with your horse, funny photos, and in memory photos. I am new to this forum and don't know how to start a thread. I was thinking people could post there photos and a blurb about the your horse.
Name, age, history, how rescued and rescued from, where now, how and what they are doing.
Neets lots of photos to make this happen.
Can someone start the thread?

OK...I have had what I think is a brilliant idea for the " Raffle Quilt". I would like to use some of the photos of the SAFE horses and transfer them to cloth to make the quilt. What do you think? Do you think Leah and Liz will allow me to use their work? I have some of my own as well but theirs are so spectacular and cover all of the horses. I don’t think I would use any “before” pics but the “afters” would be fabulous. I would also really like to get pics of the new kids including Whisper. I have a quilting bee tomorrow where I can get the supplies I need. If Leah and Liz and Jet see this, please let me know if you approve (and email the photos you would like to use) and I will go ahead and get busy. Thanks

I love the idea! I think Jaime & Monica have some really great photos too!! What fun I can't wait to see it!! These same photos could also be used in the powerpoint presentation... I think the quilt would end up being a lovely tie-in to the presentation and vice-versa. Thank you for thinking of this!

Lynnm, the quilt is a great idea, imho! And props to you if you can fully complete a quilt in just over a month! I have made only a couple small quilts myself, and helped my mom make quite a few over the years, and they are a lot of work...So, a big 'way to go' in advance for all of your hard work!

Hey everyone, I'm trying to help Palekeko put together the powerpoint slideshow of SAFE's horses, but the problem is, nobody is sending her any photos. This is a very important part of the art show because it helps educate those who will be showing up who don't know much about SAFE, and what they do. When I first came to the web site here, I was absolutely shocked at the before and after photos and couldn't believe these horses were the same ones. We need to shock as many people as we can at this art show so it will inspire them to keep helping SAFE. Please send a PM to Palakeko so she can get your pictures. I think this can be a really great presentation with your help! Thanks

I'd like to temp all you SAFE Horse fans out there with this little GEM that's going to be exhibited at HeART of the Horse and will be available go take home with SOME lucky person.... Feast your eyes This amazing quilt was designed and made by our own lynnm Please plan to attend HeART of the Horse to see this and other beautiful pieces. Buy your tickets at the pre-purchase-price of $15 and save $5 from the door price. This also allows us to plan for how many folks will be attending so we can have the right amount of hors d'oeuvre & drinks to provide. PLEASE encourage your friends/family who will be attending to do the same. We don't want to disappoint anyone by not planning for enough. ;D
