Comfort and Care for a Healthcare worker

Posted on May 26, 2024 | by KyleTheGirl

John is a retired MD, now commercial actor, who has a passion for acting. In addition to his Florida trips for commercial shoots, John came up with a special way to show his gratitude on Mother’s Day. Due to the fact that he knew the comfort requirements of his wife who is a dedicated hospital RN, John came to us to design a t-shirt quilt that is unique, warm, and comfortable.

The quilt, with the royal blue minky fabric for its back and borders, is unique in the softness and warmth, which is ideal for the cold times. Its Blocky style, with everything symmetrically aligned, demonstrates a sharp eye for detail and order—qualities that both John and his wife appreciate a lot.

By personalizing the gift, we embroidered her nickname “Corky” at the bottom, thus, this is not just a gift, but a memorable keepsake. The quilt has the meander quilting pattern that connects the design elements smoothly.

Soft comfort for one who has dedicated her life to comforting others.
