Police Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
My friend has a friend that is a policeman in the local PD. He just got promoted and she offered to make him a wall hanging quilt for his new office. We've been working together on quilts and we thought this would be something fun. It turns out he is a fan of Capt. America so we decided on a patriotic theme with Capt. America somewhere in the quilt. We had finally got all our materials together and were finishing up our ideas when she fell in her garden and broke her right shoulder! So guess who got the project all to myself! As it turns out, I totally loved working on this! My friend hasn't quilted much, so this gave me an opportunity get creative without having to teach her to sew! I had to erase his name info, but it was embroidered in gold. I did a lot of quilting on each block, but you can't see it in any pictures I took. The back is entirely Capt. America fabric!
I gave this to her today and she was very pleased. I can hardly wait until the friend receives it!

Fantastic quilt and I am sure it will be very appreciated!

MargeD 05-08-2014 10:35 AM

What a thoughtful thing to do and I'm sure he will be proud to hang it in his office. Will pray for a quick recovery for your friend, I can sympathize, although my surgery was to repair a badly torn rotator cuff injury. Not fun, especially if she's right-handed. I wish her well and thanks for sharing that wonderful quilt.

joyful1 05-08-2014 12:39 PM

He will feel so proud to have this on his office wall! It is amazing, great job!!!

caspharm 05-08-2014 02:11 PM

Nice job! I made a wall hanging for my DH several years ago. He has since retired as a police officer. I used the police fabric from the American Heroes fabric line (forgotten the mfr).

Lafpeaches 05-08-2014 02:12 PM

Beautiful quilt. Thank God for our heroic law enforcement women and men.
