Quilts of Valor 2014

Good Wednesday Morning!  The wind has finally slowed down... and I am sure that just jinxed it - but goodness .. yesterday I almost lost a door, chased a dog kennel, and felt like I was blowing away.

I am ready for a mid week pick me up!  Ready for a great Quilt of Valor show today?


This first quilt ( above) was made by Melinda in CT
Melinda is a Blue star mom - and we LOVE her quilts!!

Snuggling in the LOVE!!


Here is a close up of the quilting - it was quilted by Liz Taylor Davis - she Totally Rocks!!




This one - all the blocks were made at our sew days, and then put into a top at another sew day... so it has at least 20 makers...  And it was Quilted by Liz


This one was pieced by Charlotte W in Greeley and Quilted by Liz.

This one was made by Donna H.L. in Colorado - and it was quilted by Liz. I really love the complex simplicity of this one ( how is that for descriptive?)  It is just a neat effect!!


This Quilt was pieced by Kathy in Colorado - Kathy made all of these anniversary blocks for the national block drive - but then pieced a whole quilt!! I Love it!!


This quilt was started by Nancy in Denver - she did all the top, and then Mary took it and added it all the borders. Total teamwork right?  And again  - Quilted by Liz!!  That woman in efficient!!



Another Anniversary Block Quilt by Kathy - and quilted by Liz.


Doesn't that smile just make your day?  It sure does mine!!
And Don't forget MQX is hosting a Block drive for Quilts of Valor - if you are attending MQX you have until April 11th to turn them in, if you are mailing them in they need to be there by April 1st...  here is the link:
