A woman in Indiana has taken her hobby to a new level, making a quilt for the commander-in-chief.
Betty Alexander, 85, told the South Bend Tribune she recently finished making a quilt for President Trump that features a large American flag.
“When I was thinking ‘who’s this quilt going to be for,’ the Holy Spirit just told me it should be for President Trump," she told the paper.

“I’m a busy lady,” she told the South Bend Tribune. “I’m not going to sit around and think about things all day. What I can do, I’m going to do.”
The quilt, which includes an American flag, is sized for a queen-sized bed.

“But he won’t use it for his bed,” she told the paper. “It’s just for show.”
Now, the 85-year-old is trying to figure out the best way to get her masterpiece to the White House.
