Patches are a very important part of an expedition. The expedition logo helps record the expedition for posterity. The sponsor logos provide funders with visibility and show that they are behind us one hundred percent. And of course, the name badges help identify team members in photos when they're covered up with warm gear. To get the patches onto the expedition team's parkas, the Heart of the Woods Quilters in Ely, Minnesota offered their skills.

The Heart of the Woods Quilters were only too happy to help with this important project. A group of mothers, daughters, and granddaughters used hand-stitching and sewing machines to place the expedition logos, the team members' names, and the sponsor logos onto the bright orange parkas. The Global Warming 101 Expedition Team is grateful for their hard work and expertise!
