Well, the stars (FINALLY) aligned and Joy was ready to deliver her Law Enforcement Appreciation quilt. This week THE DAY came!!
Honestly, it's been done and ready to deliver for a number of weeks. (Months?) It's even been riding around in the car with her for the past several weeks just waiting for the opportunity to make its getaway!
Yesterday, it was complaining so much that Joy picked up the phone and called the Hillsborough Police Department. No! She didn't call the emergency number. She called the station number to find out when the Chief would be available to accept delivery.
The office manager informed her that Chief would be available during the afternoon hours Wednesday - Friday this week. I'm not sure what came over her, but she then asked about that. Very. Day!!
As it turned out, the Chief was available. SEW...
Britt, and Joy cleaned up their quilting projects and hopped in their cars (as each had errands afterwards), heading for the Hillsborough Police Station.
Upon their arrival, the office manager went to get the Chief. Joy explained who they were and how the quilt came to be. Although, Britt was forced to interpret for her, since she was talking too fast.
(Just a BIT excited!) Britt explained that they are part of a local quilt group called the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters which meets weekly. She went on to explain that one of the members designed the quilt. They group is presenting quilts to each of seven local law enforcement agencies, serving the areas where members reside.
They then showed the Chief the quilt, but forgot to get a photo of his face upon seeing the quilt or an "official" presentation shot. You know the one? It's the one with the people shaking hands over the presented object.
Instead, they got a photo of Britt and Joy with the Chief:
Got a photo with the Chief and the office manager with the maker:
Took a picture of the Chief and the office manager with the quilt:
Britt also got one last shot of Joy with the quilt for the blog:
With that, they left the police station to check out the NEW Used Book Store in town and allow the Chief and the office manager to "duke it out", as she wants the quilt to be hung in her office... Right on the wall that you can see behind the glass.
Good luck, hanging it anywhere else in the station, Chief!! LOL
Until next time...
Thank you HBPD!!!
