Hi everyone who has volunteered to help. I guess the first order of business is to have a few kits ready to make up for when there is a need. I am in contact with Mary Lamparter who is a volunteer with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs in MI. She is in contact with a police department in her area and knows there is a K-9 that is going to be retired soon. I am waiting on her for more details.
Anyways... I am looking for a few police & military kits to be made up. If you have fabric you can donate, great! If you can just donate your time to put the kits together, great! Please see the previous post for the quilt pattern and fabrics/yardage needed. The hardest thing to find according to Carolyn is the white stars on a black background. Worst case scenario, we can buy the kits from her organization....but I think with our quilting community...we can get some scraps and stash working for us. Message me or text me with what you can do and I'll coordinate a get together for kit building.
Thanks again for volunteering, I really appreciate all of your help.

This is Carolyn's K-9 Quilts of Honor booth at the Daytona American Quilter's Society show this past February. In the back of the booth are 2 examples of the types of memory quilts given in honor of a service dog's retirement or death in the line of duty. These are smaller wall hangings, with a machine embroidered label sewn unto the back. Carolyn has kits and patterns made up. The kits are for purchase or we can make our own from our stash.
