Quilt Going Out...


So, I have been informed I am a tad bit behind in my blogging on this blog. Wow! I didn't know there was a blog patrol that determined when and how to blog. Sorry everyone! This and my other 911 blog is basically set up to help others and post information about police dispatchers in need that I feel I can help.

Finally, after months, I have completed Patti's quilt and it will be in the mail tomorrow or Saturday and I must let all of you know that I just received word that Patti got to go home today!

This is just a corner of what her quilt looks like, I loved finding the batik flip-flop fabric and I had a few left over flip-flop buttons and sewed a different colored one onto each corner. The binding is flannel fabric in different colors & patterns but they all have pink in them.

This is what I call a 'hug,' quilt because I feel everyone could use a hug when they go through a bad experience. To me, however, police dispatchers especially need a hug because they are very special people.

Here is the back of the quilt done in a rose pattern of pinks and blues flannel of course to keep it soft!
