Fire Department Patch Quilt... |
|
A fire department lieutenant's wife devoted a year to collecting department patches to make this retirement quilt for her husband. Cedar Hammock is featured just top right from the center. This lucky lieutenant is due to retire in December and the quilt is a surprise (no names). The center features his patches, pins, and memories. Around the middle, begins the United States (she has all of them), then patches from various countries around the world. In the four corners are Military Fire Department patches. The white squares left are for friends and family to sign. What a beautiful job. This lieutenant should be proud!
