Quilts of Valor 2014

Do you notice I keep using the same title?  I am hoping that it keeps these posts easy to find so when you want to come back for more inspiration they are searchable.... It's a thought ;-)   You can also find all the 2014 posts by this label

Sunday was our Quilt of Valor Sew day... the pictures of the sew day are courtesy of Kevin  ... it was quite fun to have a celebrity in our midst!!


PS - all that fabric is not ours - we sew in another Quilting Groups Sewing Rooms. But the fabric does speak to us.... it loves us and makes it such a comfy cozy place....
 There are TWO  ( not one people - but TWO) design walls.... we love the ample space!


I was talking - yes - I have to talk... it's all about annoying people... Tee hee hee...


I put Kevin to work.... I am sure he didn't think he was going to get a free ride - right????  He put labels on this stack of Quilts for us. Labels are SO very important. They need to know who made them, and they need a place to put their name on them... very official!


And - to remember why we do what we do... No names or locations will be stated - but please see the joy on the faces of these recipients as they look at their quilts.
 Sorry for the angle - I got so caught up in the presentations I almost forgot to take a photo.

This one cracks me up the most - this gentlemen was so intent on listening, and learning about his quilt . Made my heart happy. And it made me happy the we as quilters can show such a tangible way to Thank and Honor our Veterans.
 Hope you all enjoyed today's Quilt show, and where we do our work. I love that so many people help out from all over the country - and even right here.

What a great place to sew with everyone...

Inspired by your QOV mission, I made quilts for both BILs, who are retired military. I was pleased how into their quilts they were... wanting the back story, the adventure of making it, the whys and wherefors... that I can easily believe that your QOV recipients are as well.
