Retirement


 Happy New Year!  With the new year, I decided to retire from the Postal Service after 35 years.  To my surprise and delight, my coworkers made a quilt for me.  I was Shocked.  I'm the quilter and I thought I was the only one making quilts at the Post Office where I worked.
 Here are a couple of panels in the quilt that show some of the quilts that I have made for my coworkers through the years.  Counting back, I think I made about 12 quilts.  The picture on the left is a quilt I made for Louise and the one on the right was a quilt I made for Kin.  I always tried to put pictures on the quilts so that they would remember us.
Here is a closeup of the top panels.  Most of the pictures are signed, so that I won't forget their names.  The best part is that this quilt was made at WALMART.  Cindy and Tina chose 12 pictures and downloaded them on the Walmart website and ordered the color and quilting type.  I don't know how much they paid or how long it took, but its a wonderful reminder of my great coworkers.
