Quilt for the News Correspondent
 

I have the top all finished. I just have to get it pinned up and I can start the hand quilting. I will be putting dolphins in the main body and waves in the border, just like the one that I made for myself.

When I send it, plan to ask for a couple of pictures of him opening it. Sure hope he likes it. This is him. His name is Richard Schlesinger.

Beautiful quilt. He will be thrilled with it.

Your quilt is beautiful!!

Can you tell us more about the story behind the making of this quilt for Richard Schlesinger??

Being a male, I think it is awesome and perfect for a man. Would love to have it myself.

This quilt is beautiful and he will love it!

I have seen him many times and admired his reporting. The quilt is very manly.

Oh my What a beautiful quilt! I hope they take pictures and you share them with us. How long will the quilting take?

Very pretty quilt. I have not heard of him. How is it you are making him a quilt?

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, especially that this quilt can be appreciated by a man.

Richard Schlesinger is my favorite news correspondent, and I have admired his work on 48 Hours, and the CBS Evening News for many years. I find him remarkably intelligent, always prepared, frequently humorous, and absolutely charming. It happens that we were born in 1954. We will both be 60 this year. I could not let this birthday pass by without marking the occasion.

I expect the quilting to take a few weeks. If I work on it every day, it may be done before the end of April. Richard was born in October, but I want to make absolutely sure that it is finished in time to get to New York City before his birthday.

WOW!!! Do you know this man?
