Way back in September I was invited to go visit Rosalie's sewing group. Her group sews on Thursday Mornings in a small corner room at her church in Greeley.

I went and told them about Quilts of Valor and our challenge. I also took a couple of Stars and Bars patterns and the fabric half way cut for one. I had thought I would sew it, but they volunteered - and you CAN NOT say no to that! Plus I knew I had more fabric to cut.... (hmmmm? Really? )

I had also passed out the Not So Top Secret Project pattern to bribe folks to sew.

Last night Rosalies group showed up with EIGHT! ... count 'em eight quilts! All of them are wonderful. But I have to tell you - I was really drawn to the scrappy Not So Top Secret quilt. I really think I should make one that scrappy. I took them all home, and layed that one out and just stared.

Ladies - Thank you SO much!!
It's amazing to watch the quilts flow in. All unique and all beautiful. Thanks for inspiring us to contribute to this great project.

I am addicted to sewing QOVs now! It's wonderful to have an outlet for my hobby, since everyone in my family has several quilts now.
