Now Its Your Turn

Almost exactly 50 years after I graduated from Nursing School my great niece graduated from UPEI with a BScN.  How very excited we all are and so very proud of this delightful and caring your lady.

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.
