I have been waiting since June to tell you more about this quilt, but all good things come with time. Back in May Island Batik contacted the ambassadors and asked for volunteers to make quilts for members of the Triathlon Gold Team. What is Triathlon Gold? Glad you asked. Triathlon Gold is a team of talented athletes coached by Jarrod Evans training and competing for their shot at an Olympic gold medal. (read more about them here) So where do we fit into this? Earlier this year, Island Batik became one of the sponsors for the team. As a way to cheer all the athletes on as they work hard and compete, Island Batik asked us to make comfort quilts they could take with them on their journeys. I said COUNT ME IN! My own little triathlon endurance race of piece, quilt and bind. This post is my sort of open ended letter to Megan Foley, the recipient of my quilt, on how her quilt came to life.
