Monochrome Splash was the theme voted in this year. With a monochromatic color scheme, we used black and white photographs for inspiration and each added a splash of color... Red! It is a stunning quilt. The quilt measures 70” by 71”.

The 2014 Havanese Rescue Quilt Project quilt is titled “You Are the Sunshine of My Life”.  The quilt was inspired by the song lyrics of the Stevie Wonder song, You Are the Sunshine of My Life.  The group felt that the lyrics of this song expressed all that it means to have a Havanese in our lives.  The song also relates to the special bond between a rescue Havanese and the forever home they find, thanks to our  volunteers and supporters of Havanese rescue.

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

You must have known that I was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And I know that this must be Heaven
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my soul

The 2015 Havanese Rescue Quilt is called “These are a Few of My Favorite Things” or “Favorite Things.” The quilt was inspired by the song from “The Sound of Music,” and the quilters decided to depict favorite things in each of the quilt squares. Fabric colors were chosen from Moda’s color wave called “Bobbins and Bits” which includes fun turquoises and corals. Bobbins and bits of fabric are favorite items found in every sewing room, so the collection suited our theme. Each square includes a dog bone, and the dog bone theme is again carried throughout the finishing of the quilt, tying each square together by one of our Hav’s favorite things…dog bones!

The quilt is five feet wide by six feet long and has a quilt sleeve for hanging.

The 2015 Star of the Show Quilt is our 10th group quilt. Julie chose this theme this year in hopes that it would appeal to show breeders as well as those who love Havanese.  Every one of them are "stars" in their own way.

The quilt is 56” X 68” and has a quilt sleeve attached to the back.

Close-Ups Quilt

We voted this theme in, based on a suggestion years ago by a forum member. It is a more contemporary quilt then we have ever done before. With this theme we did not want any scenes,but rather just have the focus be on the havanese.
 
So many times when trying to photograph a hav, they move or come running for kisses and you end up with a photo that was unexpected. This is what our quilt was about this year. Our quilt measures approx. 68” x 70”

Hav'n a Ball Quilt

This year's theme was a result of the idiom Have a Ball, which seemed perfect for our quilt, as it means to enjoy oneself or have a good time. Everyone who owns a Hav knows that these little sweeties know how to have a good time and also know how to insure that their owners enjoy their time with their pups. Hav'n a Ball, was created and to tie in with its literal meaning we added a ball to each square for continuity.  The quilt dimensions are approximately 67" long and 57" wide.

The 2012 Forum Quilt is titled "HavNFun."  Each beautiful square depicts one of the fun-loving aspects of the Havanese personality. They certainly do make us giggle! Click the photo to see all the squares!
