Comfort Quilts

     In honor of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, a suggestion was made that members of the Herring Run Quilt Guild might like to make a red, white, and blue quilt to be donated to a veteran. At our first meeting on Saturday, ten people showed the patriotic quilts they had made. These will be donated to a local veterans' home. Here is my quilt.

     At the meeting,  I also turned in another comfort quilt which I made for the organization, Wrapped Up in Sports. This organization presents professional sports team-inspired quilts to children in need. The quilter receives a kit containing pre-cut pieces for the top and borders and then the quilter assembles the top, adds batting and a backing, and quilts the piece. To learn more about this organization, please visit Wrapped Up in Sports. 
     

     Finally, the green in front of Braintree's Town Hall presently has a display of 3,000 small American flags to honor the 3,000 women and men who perished on 9/11. This photo shows just a small portion of the area which fills the entire green.  The flags will remain up until Friday.
