It was nice to have a day off and play tourist. We decided to go to the San Diego Zoo. My, what a place. It is huge – so many plants it looked like a jungle everywhere we went instead of in the middle of the city. There were so many neat animals. We walked over 5 miles. Boy, were we glad to get back to the car. We must have made 5 u-turns trying to figure out where we were going. I think we passed the treetop three times, not that we wanted to. I bet we all sleep tonight and I hope we can all walk tomorrow.
I did get to go to the San Diego Champions Hall of Fame to see my good friend Pete’s picture and plaque. I know Margaret would be proud that I took the time.
We ran into two women from Canada standing in line at the Zoo and they knew about Quilts of Honor. That made us proud.
Weather has been cool but beautiful. Can’t wait for tomorrow – we are going to the beach. Stay tuned……..
God bless,
Gail
Hello. I too am a Canadian quilter. Our Guild makes what we call Quilts of Valour that we give out to veterans in need or in hospital. Is that the same idea?
We are similar yet different. We present quilts personally as much as possible. Our labels show who pieced the quilt, who quilted it, who added the binding, who the quilt was given to with date and place. We also receive requests thru our website and if there is not a chapter close by, the quilt is mailed with a letter thanking them for their service. And, we do not charge our groups membership fees.
