Quilt made from left-over scraps after Carole-Anne Arndt sewed about 50 hats for nurses and support staff
A health-care worker has spent two years fabricating a quilt from scraps of pandemic scrub hats, with each square representing a colleague at Saanich Peninsula Hospital.
“We are a very close-knit unit but we are always short-staffed and most of us work a lot of overtime. I took on this project as a way to keep me sane,” said Arndt, who was introduced to quilting three years ago. “I have always admired quilts and found the time to make my own.” She is unsure on her plans for the quilt and is considering holding a raffle or auctioning it so the money can buy equipment to make life easier for her co-workers.
Although Arndt’s co-workers knew of her sewing skills, they didn’t know of the existence of the queen-sized quilt until it was completed — but they weren’t surprised that she would give it away.
