One of the options to donate a quilt this year at Sarah (Confessions of a Fabric Addict) Hands2Help Quilt Drive was Hometown Heroes.
The Hometown Hero I chose to honor was my daughter's English Professor/mentor/friend. Without the support from Dr. Kia Richmond, I think my daughter would have struggled so much more to complete her degree at Northern Michigan University this past spring. My daughter switched her degree with 2 semesters to graduation. Kia lead her in a directive study class her last term which allowed DD to graduate on time! Dr. Richmond's favorite colors are pink, green and black. If you have followed my blog, you have seen her quilt. DD gave Dr. Richmond her quilt in the beginning of May, when we all needed to be in Marquette, Michigan to tie up some loose ends.

That's a great person to honor with your beautiful quilt, Pat! We definitely appreciate those people who help our kids, especially in the strange times of the past year, which has to have been tough on educators and students. Glad your daughter made it through!
College professors probably don't get very many gifts from their students. SEW sweet of you to show your appreciation of her help in getting DD graduated on time!
Very nice gift!
Beautiful quilt and a great story! Teachers are some of the BEST hometown heroes!
