Hockey Quilt
Sharon Lemaire made a special quilt to raffle off to raise money for the hockey association. The quilt was made from hockey jerseys. Sharon also machine embroidered the kids' names and the national team logos. Logos include the Red Wings, the Mighty Ducks, and the Red Devils. It has a five blocks across and six blocks down for an overall size of approximately 66" by 72". The main colors are blue and red. It is machine pieced and machine quilted. A machine embroidered label says, "Hockey Quilt. Machine pieced, embroidered and quilted by Sharon Lemaire, Newberry, MI, for TAYHA, 11/2001."
During August 2002, Sharon entered the quilt in a local fair. It was seen in the handiworks booth at 2 PM on the last day of the fair, but by 3 PM it was gone.
January 2007 two hockey-moms found the quilt in an antique store about one hundred miles away. They returned it to the hockey association and it was finally raffled off as originally inteneded.
