It was donated to Fischer House at our Air Force Base, a place where wounded soldiers and their families can stay while the soldier is undergoing treatment or rehabilitation.
It was made from a kit I got at quilt shop. It is hand appliqued and hand quilted.

LIke many people I know, my response to the original date was to start quilting with tears in my eyes. My DH was in our local volunteer fire dept then, so the dept. gave may quilt to the NYFD. I am told it hangs in station#2.
Another for our local fire dept fund raiser.
