Hey y'all! Guess what finally showed up in my mailbox !?!
Just when I had given up hope of ever seeing them again, the package shows up.
The blocks are here and heading back out to you.
I am enclosing a SASE for the return of a block to me, if you so desire.
So, I wanted to let you ladies know what I have decided to do with the blocks from this swap.
I recently relocated here to Maine from Rye, NH. It is a small, very quiet seaside community. I heard sirens 3 times in the three years I lived there.
I was about 3/4 of a mile from the town of Greenland, NH, another idyllic, ocean side town with no crime to speak of.
We had a family tragedy a few years back & a local company tried to take advantage of me while I was going through a very tough time. The business called the police in Greenland to have them speak to me about a $2,400 towing & storage fee they felt I owed them - for a car that was not mine, but was involved in the incident. It was a disgusting situation during a bad time.
The Greenland police Chief, Officer Mahoney came to my home & assured me that he had informed the tow company in no uncertain terms that I did not owe them anything. He informed me that the police brought 85% of the cars to them that they towed, most of their business. He told me that if they harassed me anymore I should call him & they would never get another police impound vehicle again.
He was a real gentleman in a time when few people were doing the right thing by me.
This past Thursday (2 weeks from retirement) he responded to a call for backup at a home where 3 officers were serving a search warrant.
He was shot & killed, and 4 other officers are in critical condition. In a town with a non-existent crime rate it has shocked everyone.
My friends decided to make a memorial quilt for his family. A small token of our appreciation for all that he did in service to the community.
They picked red, white, and blue as the color scheme, but could only find a few girls willing to sew blocks.
I have decided to include our twelve blocks in his memorial quilt. I will send you ladies a photo of it completed, as planned.
I know it will only be a small comfort, but I hope in the years ahead it will reassure them that some in the community, while we could not give money, gave from our hearts.

Balefire & Gin.
I was misinformed.
If you would like to contribute more blocks to the quilt we'll take 'em.
We'd like to have 45 of the carrienation blocks in red, white & blue, so I was confused - we do need more.
It is short notice, but if you wanted to donate more blocks I can PM you my address. We hope to piece the quilt Memorial Day weekend. It seems appropriate.
Thanks ladies, either way that you decide. Sorry for the confusion.
