The Carolina Calots are thrilled to share the exciting news that Stephen Allen, a resident of Georgia, has emerged as the winner of the highly anticipated Tarzan's Quilt Quest. This prestigious competition culminates in the awarding of a stunning, handcrafted Tarzan Quilt, which is set to be shipped directly to Stephen's doorstep courtesy of the United States Postal Service within the week. This quilt is not just any ordinary piece; it is a unique collectible that measures an impressive 64 inches by 64 inches, showcasing the artistry and dedication of its creators.
Crafted with care in North Carolina, this exceptional quilt is made entirely from 100% cotton fabric, thread, and batting, ensuring both quality and comfort. A talented group of approximately six local quilters collaborated to bring this masterpiece to life, pouring their skills and passion into every stitch. Unlike many mass-produced items, this quilt stands out as a true labor of love, as it features no silkscreen or dye printing. Instead, the text from all 24 Tarzan novels is intricately woven into the fabric, making it a literary treasure as well as a visual delight.
The design process for the quilt was equally meticulous, with the silhouette being hand-crafted based on the original Fred J. Arting artwork. This attention to detail not only enhances the quilt's aesthetic appeal but also pays homage to the rich legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan series.
As Stephen awaits the arrival of this remarkable piece, he can take pride in owning a one-of-a-kind item that celebrates both the art of quilting and the enduring spirit of adventure that Tarzan embodies. This quilt is more than just a decorative item; it is a testament to creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of great storytelling.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in and supported the Carolina Calots fundraiser. Your dedication marks you as genuine fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
