Barb, Dianne, and Nancy

Barb saw my instructions for the flag blocks
http://alyciaquilts.blogspot.com/2010/09/quilters-accountability-92210.html
 and decided that she would make some for us to put into a quilt top  - per
fect!! And in the middle of the blocks - something magical fell out - a bag of M&M's.... Thanks Barb!!

Dianne is in Denver and she is an awesome quilter!! She made this Quilt of Valor. It was quilted by Patsy M of Green River WY. Patsy did a beautiful job!
 This quilt of Valor is also made by Dianne - don't you just love her work!! And it was quilted by Sharon H of Arvada CO.  I saw Sharons name on the label and was surprised - she had just contacted me to come speak at their guild. I am the speaker in May. (wish me luck)

Thanks Dianne - you are awesome!!! !


The last quilt for today comes from Nancy in New York. This pattern is called Dizzy and it was a mystery quilt done on the QOVquiltmystery yahoo group.

Nancy - it is awesome - Thank you!!

I was asked the other day by the spouse of a Wounded Warrior recieveing his quilt - How we can stand to give away such beautiful works or art? First, I had to love the way she thinks!! Second, I recruited her to learn to make these, and Third - I explained how much we quilters wanted to support our troops and say thank you, and this is the best way we know how.

Any other comments I should add to that?

I would love to be making this along with you, but I will be at our Veterans Day booth at the base, so no internet. I will however, be working on Quilts of Valor while there. Squaring up blocks, and getting signatures for another quilt. I'll make yours another day. Thanks for the ideas.
