As a former manager to a battered women's shelter in MO I have to say that is so beautiful and touching. I've had in many cases been an advocate by the side of young children who have gone through sexual assault/rape during a SAFE exam. So in turn I gathered college artists to make a mural of the sea with 3d pics of fish animals and even some mermaids. While laying there they were asked to find as many so they can earn a prize towards the end. God Bless you in the work you do!

That's a beautiful quilt made even more lovely with the dedication and meaning attached to it. I think that the quilt will bring about even more conversation with you not in the room, as I can just imagine the questions asked about it and the story told of how you made specifically for them. In fact, I believe that there is even more caring and healing in the quilt with you now retired, as people looking at it today will know that someone cared enough to put that much work into producing something so lovely just for them. It so personalizes your work for each individual.

Barb, sorry for the delay in answering your question about my label.

All I did was get one of those packets of computer printer fabric that is sold at any fabric store... it doesn't have to be a quilt shop. It's for color inkjet printers and color inkjet copy machines. I've used different kinds but this one is an orange/yellow envelope with a blond woman sewing and her quilt of photos on the cover. Brand name: june tailor and website listed: www.junetailor.com

I know it works great for wallhangings but I don't think it lasts really long on quilts that get washed a lot. I had to do each of my daughters' 21st birthday bed quilts labels over recently, only 7 and 8 years later. If anybody knows a longer lasting system, I'd like to know it too. In the meantime, the above label works great on smaller, rarely washed projects.

Cathie, as others have said here, you did a wonderful job, thinking out the "meaning" of your quilt. In vulnerable states, everything has an affect on the viewer, and this is sure to be a comfort. bless you! :D

The manager of the SART -Forensic Nurse Examiners called me in with my labcoat to take a photo with my wallhanging in the exam room at the hospital. You can see how it is displayed on the wall at the foot of the patient as I had requested. Nice of the manager to take these.

I couldn't figure out how to add the second photo so here it is.

Yes you will. Look inside yourself and you will feel every one of the smiles it brings to their faces even if it is only on the inside of them. Very powerful. Thank you so much.
