Betty Alexander is an 85-year-old Indiana resident who recently decided to quilt an American flag for a powerful reason.
Fox News reported that Alexander has always loved quilting, but it was only after she started making the American flag that she realized she wanted to give her creation to President Donald Trump himself!
“When I was thinking ‘who’s this quilt going to be for,’ the Holy Spirit just told me it should be for President Trump,” Alexander said.
She went on to explain that she learned how to quilt from her mother when she was a little girl, and she has made countless quilts for her children and grandchildren. Alexander began this particular quilt four months ago after she broke her hip in a fall, and she thought quilting the American flag was the perfect way to pass the time during her recovery.
“I’m a busy lady,” Alexander said. “I’m not going to sit around and think about things all day. What I can do, I’m going to do.”
Alexander wants Trump to know that while the quilt is sized for a queen bed, she doesn’t want him to use it on any of the White House beds.
“But he won’t use it for his bed,” she explained. “It’s just for show.”
Now that she has finished the quilt, Alexander is trying to figure out a way to get it to the White House.
“I haven’t made a dime on any of the ones I’ve made,” Alexander said. “I just want to make sure he sees it.”
Twitter users have been touched by Alexander’s story, and they’re doing everything they can to make it go viral so that Trump sees it!
Hey Brett. You should cover the story about Betty Alexander in South Bend. I think Trump should accept the American flag quilt from her in person. The greatest generation could teach the young in our country a great deal about love of country and our flag.
