Warsaw woman creates Scrabble quilt for Buttigieg [View all]

WARSAW, Ind. (WNDU) - When it comes to quilting and politics, Shelly Gilliland is passionate.

After being impressed with former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at a 2018 event in Fort Wayne, she awaited the day he would announce his presidential candidacy.

In April 2019, Gilliland's dream came true when Buttigieg made the announcement. Around the same time, the Warsaw woman had an epiphany.

"I saw the fabric one day and thought, 'That needs to be a quilt for Pete. That just needs to be a quilt for Pete,'" Gilliland recalled.
