'A Patchwork of Love' Creates a New Way to Thank Mom This Mother's Day 


CLEVELAND, May 2  /PRNewswire/ -- AmericanGreetings.com has always known the
importance of making mom feel special on Mother's Day.  This year they
announced "A Patchwork of Love", a unique, new and free way to pay tribute to
mothers and other amazing women this Mother's Day.

Although the quilt was launched only a week ago, already thousands of people
have posted patches, growing at a rate of hundreds of new patches a day.  Here
are some fun facts about the popular quilt:

   - If each patch was a standard six inch square, "The Patchwork of Love"
     would extend across three football fields.
   - The quilt has honored mothers from all 50 states, with California
     having the most patches and Texas coming in a close second.
   - The quilt has gone international with patches from England, Canada,
     Mexico, Germany, Spain, India, China, South Africa, Singapore and many
     other countries.
   - The average patch has two posts, but many have up to five and six
     posts.

that they love -- moms, wives, aunts, stepmoms, sisters, daughters,
grandmothers, best friends, mentors -- honoring them for Mother's Day.  The

kind, offering a memorable place where these women can be collectively
recognized.
