This was a mystery quilt and some of the ladies in my guild did it with me - somewhere in my camera are pictures of theres so I will dig in to find them too. The little guy on the left is my youngest son, and the just a tad older guy on the right is my Husband. They make great quilt holders.
And Yes this is a Quilt of Valor. I will get the other ladies quilts finished and we will send them in a groups to the hospital of Catherines choice. If you want to learn more about Quilts of Valor you can at http://www.qovf.org
Today it is very windy outside and many highways have been closed - so I have stayed in a sewed. I am almost finished with another top so will get it finished today I hope.
I was tagged by Carol to write 5 wierd things about me - but I don't think I am wierd - so asked my boys and hubby - heres what they came up with:
1. I have a bite mark on my back from where my brother bit me when we were about 4 and 6 - it made a deep scar and grew with me.
2. I don't particulary like being touched by a lot of people - it seems it is the "in thing" now to hug all the time and I usually find a way to hide.
3. I am still scared of the dark - and avoid it at all costs. I have 2 flashlights in my truck just in case. And I always do chores before it gets dark.
4. I have amazing hearing - I can hear the boys when they least expect it. Sometimes I can hear the wind you make as you are walking - freaky.
5. I am allergic to pain - and its even written down and highlighted on my dentists chart. Although I did manage to make it thru childbirth 3 times with no drugs - but never again! LOL
okay - that ought to tell you more about me than you ever wanted to know!!

Beautiful quilt - I know it is going to be greatly appreciated and cherished!
That is a beautiful quilt. How kind of you to quilt for this organization. As for your weird stuff, I too do not consider myself "weird". While you're afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of my imagination looking at the dark sky ;o). I'm not into group hugs either. I promise if we meet not to hug you! lol Keep well.
PS: I wanted to e-mail you regarding long arm quilting but noticed you have no contact info on your blog. Is there any way I can reach you? thanks
Great quilt and very handsome quilt holders.
I'm curious - how can you be allergic to pain?
I'm not keen on being touched by other people either unless they are family members or people I know extremely well.
Great quilt, Alycia! I am not a hugger either (unless it is my family), disliking all those touchy situations. Hope you are all dug out from all the snow - once it melts it should help with the drought, however.
Love your quilt! Got a big giggle when I clicked on the pick to see your ds standing on the couch.
I admit I am a big time hugger. But usually have to know you a little bit and also have a sense of those that don't like to be hugged and totally respect that!
Good for you........what great work you are doing on your QOVs. I want to participate in this soon.
Tons of hugs. I will just say them to you. lol
