WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Inside of Fellowship Manor in Whitehall Township hangs the faith and freedom quilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We asked all of our residents and our staff if they would participate so that we could create a work of art that would be a visual representation of how much we appreciate and love the country,” said Mary Kay McMahon, CEO of Fellowship Manor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In honor of America’s 250th, residents and staff each designed a red, white, and blue square.<\/p>\n
Each piece was tied together, making one patriotic mosaic.<\/p>\n
The finished product was unveiled at a celebration Thursday afternoon, with cupcakes and cuddly cows to boot.<\/p>\n
“Just to see the red, white, and blue standing out really looks very nice,” Betty Henderschedt said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Filled with unique and even handcrafted designs the quilt brought the community together.<\/p>\n
“It was such fun, and they just let us do whatever we wanted and whatever we felt in our hearts, which was so nice,” said Diane Vanderslice, a resident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The project stands as a collaborative and creative one, giving residents a patriotic sense of purpose, just days before America’s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHITEHALL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Inside of Fellowship Manor in Whitehall Township hangs the faith and freedom quilt.\u00a0 “We…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120],"class_list":["post-234196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
