Quilts of Valor 2015

Alright.... who knew it was Wednesday and forgot to tell me????

We had a track meet yesterday  - and mostly those are on Thursday.... so today was...well.. Friday in my head!!

Some Great QOV CO news - we are covering a Women Veterans Retreat - and there are 60 women total for the year attending. We wanted to make more feminine quilts - and need them by the end of May.... As of today - 30 are completely ready!  AND!! Two of our other groups have checked in - one of them has 11 more, and the other will count Friday ( another reason why I checked my calendar lol)

I am proud of all of us quilters!!!

On to the Quilt Show:

These two were put together by the Greeley Group - and they were Quilted by Crystal in Denver.



This one is some Blocks from the MQX QOV block Drive - and put together by Carolyn. It was Quilted by Dawna in CO


These blocks were made by Lori and put into a top by Cheryl M, and Quilted by Dawna

( that there is beautiful team work my friends!!)


The next two were pieced by Darlene - this one was Quilted by Helen.

And this was one Quilted by Ann.  Ann and Helen worked with there Quilter friends and I think this is quilt 6 and 7 that they have made for this year ;-)


Then Ms Crystal ( whoquilted two at the top of the post) got together with her Sister and Deonna - and they made these 4 quilts, and Crystal Quilted them!!!   Aren't they lovely!



This last one that they put made was made in the colors that were their Dad's favorite. I LOVE that!!

And of course - a smile. The more I study this quilt .... I am tempted to dig back into my strips......

 Go forth and quilt!!!
