Ryleigh's quilt
 

March 26th two Des Moines Police officers were killed by a very intoxicated wrong way driver. The crash was horrific, the wrong way driver was going 102 mph, the police vehicle 79 mph. The crash was head on, their were no survivors, including the prisoner who was being transported.
This is the quilt that was my WIP when this tragedy occurred, it is now in the possession of the DMPD, soon to be delivered to the toddler daughter of Officer Susan Farrell.[ATTACH=CONFIG]550532[/ATTACH]

Prayers for those families. I hope the quilt will be a comfort to her.

A lovely quilt ... so sad to hear of such a horrific tragedy. Prayers to the families.

Thoughtful gift

That's so tragic. I'm sure your thoughtfulness will be much appreciated.

Sorry for the horrific details, maybe I coulda/shoulda have left those out.
I am eager to see if they are able to send a pic of Ryleigh and her quilt, if not that's okay too.
It was a total coincidence that I was working on the quilt, I had no one in mind for it. It was meant to be.
Hope she loves it and it brings her some happiness.

Adorable quilt. Such a sad story

Your quilt for Ryleigh is lovely. Sweet of you to make this for her. You have put a bright spot in a sad situation.

Such a very thoughtful quilt.

Such a tragic loss! I hope your generous donation will bring that little girl comfort, so nice of you.

I too said a prayer for the families. What a lovely gift for that little girl.

Mt signature says my sentiments for this tragedy.

Nice quilt and gesture by you. Such a sad event.

Very nice of you to do this.

How horrible a tragedy was that. GOD Bless those families. And Bless you for your generosity and caring.

breaks my heart to know that the toddler will grow up without her mother... your quilt is lovely and very thoughtful of you.

Love the quote! The best one ever!

My heartfelt hope is Ryleigh loves it and brings her some level of love and happiness no matter how small.[ATTACH=CONFIG]550729[/ATTACH]The label is just a little wonky, the embroidery work was donated.

That was a horrible accident. Thank you for being so thoughtful for the little girl. Prayers for the families.

Beautiful quilt. Am sure it will give her some comfort. Prayers for all families involved.

Wow. What a tragic story. God bless the families. That is a very thoughtful thing for you to do. Bless you....

I volunteer with the Houston Police Department and, from knowing many of the officers there, I am sure the quilt and the love you put into it will mean so much, not only to Ryleigh but to all the officers!

Good grief!...should be "there" not their.
That one got by me, I really know better than this!!
JanieH. I find it incredibly sad that Ryleigh will not grow up with a mom and probably too young to even have memories of her.

What a senseless tragedy, driving and alcohol do not mix. My heart goes out to those families to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line for us. I really like the quilt and I'm sure it will be cherished.

Such a sad waste of life but a pity the culprit didn't survive to feel some of the pain inflicted on innocent victims. I'm sure Ryleigh will cling to her comfort blanket and think of her mother with each hug.

such a good cause, thank you.
