Welcome to Lion's Heart Specialty Quilts.
Here you will find pictures, stories of how these quilts came to be, and how to order one.
This Webpage is dedicated to our heroes. Firefighters, Police Officers, and our Military sons & daughters who have
lost their lives, helping to keep us safe and free.
The name comes from my dog Lion. An AKC American Eskimo, who had a lot of heart, who was very protective and brave.
He once challenged a doberman pincher and rotweiler, as he barked at them the other dogs sat down, instead of attacking.
Even their owner was surprised by their behavior, reactions to my little lion. Lion's Roar can be heard for miles.
A separate page will have pictures of my dog lion and stories about him.
Firefighters, Police Officers, Military Officers, are like my dog lion. They are brave, protective, loyal, caring,
and have big hearts. And they do what they can to keep people safe and free from harm. Stand TAll and Stand safe
and Free.

*****UPDATE******. Thanks to Mark Dashiell from ABC Extreme Homemake over Edition, the quilt was shipped to the parents
of Lori Piestewa. I hope they liked it, as i have not rec'd word about it. The quilt was not made to cause
pain, but to honor them, their heritage and their daughter.
Hi I was deeply touched, when I heard that Lori Piestewa was killed in Iraq. She was the first woman and the first native
american, However she was also a mom, and so left behind 2 young kids for her parents to care for and raise.
I have designed this quilt honoring Lori's spirit and her heritage. It is almost done, just a few more stitches are needed,
then to find a way of getting it to her parents.
Blessings.

In the late summer of 2002, 11 fire fighters from Eastern Oregon, City of La Grande OR, traveled to Colorado to help
them put out the wild fires there.
They never made it, they died in an accident, van rollover.
This quilt is to honor not only those fire fighters, but all fire fighters.
The quilt will be presented to the City of La Grande, OR Fire Dept soon.
I will update this page when it has been presented to them.
As you can see by the pictures below, the Honor Our Fire
Fighters Quilt was Presented
to a member of the La Grande
Oregon Fire Dept. by the Mayor of La Grande, Oregon
Colleen Johnson on October 15, 2003
during their council
meeting.
I am told that the quilt was warmly and gratefully accepted.
My hope is that the
quilt will help in the healing process
and let the Fire Fighters know that they are supported and
appreciated for
all that they do to help keep us safe.

Robyn is a co-founder of OpmaleStars (OPeration Make a Life enriched stars). She was battling cancer when i suggested
making a memory-healing quilt for her. All the members of Opmalestars plus members in the military sent in wishes, prayers
to aid in her healing. Those messages are on the back view. The most difficult thing about making this quilt, was the iron-on
transfer of text.
