Welcome to the board!

Hello and Welcome :D :D :D

when my daughter graduated from nursing school, I made her a red and white checked quilt and used the Loralie Nurse panels (cut into blocks). It made the cutest quilt. I found the panel at a quilt show, but you can google it and get several results.

Welcome from East Texas. One of our ladies is always posting where to find difficult fabric. Maybe she will see & post the site. I'm sorry I can't remember what it is.

Windham has a line of fabric inspired by Clara Barton and named for her. Not obviously nurse-y but still meaningful.

Another welcome from a Florida neighbor. We won't mind if you'd like to stay longer :) -- all quilters are fine folk!

thanks for the input. Would love to find some of that LoraLei (sp) fabric but it is not avaiable on the sites I looked at. Anyone have any in their old stash?????

Welcome aboard from Washington
Sew glad you joined us :D

Hey Bev, you doing OK? Haven't seen you post much lately. Or if your like me got way tooooooooooooo many irons in the fire. Hope you are well.DEb

I assumed it was document writing. Something related to her. Maybe about her Andersonville work or the final recognition of the U.S. branch of the Red Cross. I don't know. My eyes are bad so I can't read it online (a good excuse to buy some fabric!).

It would be so cool if they included actual letters in their historical people lines. I'd buy lots of yardage, Windham. Hint, hint.

Hello, and welcome from Missouri! Sorry I can't help you with the nurse fabric.

I may have some of the Loralie fabric. Moved recently and will have to search for it. Will look later tonight and get back to you. I made a tote bag out of the panels.

Hi Sue, welcome from Florida! 8)
We have a few nurses on this board, maybe you will here from one.
One of them named Gai, made a stethoscope cover, but not sure what your looking for :D

Welcome from SW Iowa. Glad to have you here.

I have seen some bugs bunny's with white med coats and stethoscopes on a light blue background, at Wal Mart. It's not top grade fabric, but it's not bottom either.

Dollar General sells scrubs real cheap. You might find a fabric you like & cut apart to make your pieces.
