And there's more!


Way back in September I was invited to go visit Rosalie's sewing group. Her group sews on Thursday Mornings in a small corner room at her church in Greeley.
~
I went and told them about Quilts of Valor and our challenge. I also took a couple of Stars and Bars patterns and the fabric half way cut for one. I had thought I would sew it, but they volunteered - and you CAN NOT say no to that! Plus I knew I had more fabric to cut.... (hmmmm? Really? )
~
I had also passed out the Not So Top Secret Project pattern to bribe folks to sew.
~
Last night Rosalies group showed up with EIGHT! ... count 'em eight quilts! All of them are wonderful. But I have to tell you - I was really drawn to the scrappy Not So Top Secret quilt. I really think I should make one that scrappy. I took them all home, and layed that one out and just stared.

Ladies - Thank you SO much!!

























But Wait!!! There are EVEN more..... and yesterday my UPS man showed up with a Dolly full of boxes.... so there are more that one can imagine - and you HAVE to come back to see them all.

My one observation? We quilters work great under pressure.... come back tonite!

We are at 709 now......

I am addicted to sewing QOVs now! It's wonderful to have an outlet for my hobby, since everyone in my family has several quilts now.
