I made this quilt over the last several weeks for a man I never met. I won't get to give it to him. He was severely injured diving into a creek to save a little girl from drowning. She survived, but he succumbed to complications of the injuries he incurred in attempting to save her. He was a simple man, but a kind, honest soul who paid the ultimate sacrifice in trying to save another. His name was Mike Patterson. I am giving the quilt to those who loved him, as a small token to honor his spirit and kindness. It is made from well loved t-shirts given to me by family and friends, who, like me, when hearing of Mike's story, wanted to show him kindness as well. I am grateful to all those who donated to the quilt. The intention was a virtual hug for Mike, but now will be a token of the kindness of his spirit. <3.
