ONT - so sorry about that officer. My heart goes out to his family and will send up prayers for them. My niece and nephew are EMT/fire fighters and my nephew is also the arson investigator for a major metropolis. I worry about them constantly when they are at work. I know the jobs are different but I worry about the dangers. And, yes, they have been shot at answering calls.
Your quilt - what can I say - it is absolutely outstanding and a work of art. I'm getting a wall ready to hang it (just in case) LOL
