This one is for TN fire victim

When a friend suggested we make a quilt for a park ranger who lost his home in the TN wildfires, I offered this top that I made over 10 years ago. Bear paws seemed so appropriate. I quilted a feather circle is the plain blocks, my first time doing feathers! It still needs part of the binding sewn on. My friend is doing that and will be taking it to TN to deliver. I hope it gives someone some comfort.

What a beautiful quilt and how nice of you to donate it. We went to the Great Smokies last year and I feel so badly for all the people there. Very nice National Park and area.

I love the way you did the bears claw... I am looking for a new pattern and this one is being added to the top of the to-do List ... I usually am doing 2-3 projects at a time and your bear claw is up there... Im working on a baby blanket and crib quilt both in Spiderman for brothers and a large lap quilt for oldest son in Duck Dynasty doing it in a sampler..........I also like that you did yours in differnt colors Thanks for sharing

The bear paw is so perfectly appropriate. You and your friend are so generous. People who go through the forest fire trauma need uplift from others and you are doing that.
