There was a really neat thing that happened after the fire. Lots of people were putting up banners that said, "Thank You Firefighters and First Responders." I made this banner for our front deck. After it was up for a couple of weeks and the snows came, I took it down to the fire station in town. I also took some pies - just from the grocery store. But... when I took it inside the very firefighters who were on our street wee the ones I met! They seemed to really like it! All the firefighters up here and they were the ones to be thanked in person for our home! No embroidery here, just cut out letters put on with spray adhesive and a little stitching. The heart is appliqué and fuzzy. The green is actually forest fabric with moose, elk, fish, bears, trees and cabins!

I'm wondering if they will hang it in the fire station.... It had a broom handle in the top to hang up straight. I put thanks from Whartons and our address on the back.

That was special and they deserved it. I am so glad you thought of it.

There were banners everywhere with all those words, but I didn't want to cute them all out, so I shortened it to All our Heros! I was so glad to do that, and it made me feel so good!

Such a nice gesture on your part. I can’t think of anyone who would not be truly grateful for these guys. They were doing their ‘job’ yes but how many people are willing to risk their lives for others because of a job? A special group like these! I am so happy it was you too that thanked them!

I just happened to have the right fabrics too! Our firefighters are really being spoiled by everyone. I'm thinking I'll take down a pot of Sloppy Joes in February. They got lots and lots of Christmas Cookies!

That is such a beautiful and thoughtful way to say thanks to a special group of people. Kudos to you for saying thanks in person too with goodies. I know you made their day.
