As a quilter I wanted to give her something. But what? My sister (her grandmother) was likely making her a quilt so that was out.
I started to create a small wall art to depict the four years of study using some of my old nursing school uniform bib and aprons but my muse had gone AWOL so I went to bed! When I awoke through the night I knew exactly what I needed to do so happily went back to sleep.
The next morning I selected one of my old nursing hats and made her just what I knew she would love and which would be memorable. I chose a font from my computer and matchstick quilted all around the letter A.
The binding is plain black to signify the black band in the hat of a Registered Nurse
Her name is Aricca and I was right, she loves it.
