I designed, dyed the wool to match the quilt and hooked this floral rug this summer with impressionist shading, to go with a floral quilt that the women of "Christ Church Rawdon" were making to raffle and raise money for a new roof for the church. Some lucky person will win them both. Our Anglican Church has been in existence since 1821 and was rebuilt in its present state in 1859 after a fire. It is considered a Heritage Building and is therefore eligible for assistance for restoration from the Quebec government. We have done other restoration under the Heritage Grants. The only stipulation is that we have to replace the roof with Cedar Shake Shingles which were original to the building and we have to raise 1/3 of the money before they will release the rest of the funds---- which are considerable. We have had many fund raising events and hope to reach our goal by years end.
