All Six of these quilts of valor were made by Meredith in California - She has been keeping Longarm volunteers all over the country VERY very busy!! The top two quilts were quilted by Patricia in Memory of SSGT Fred Duebbers. I think that is a wonderful way to honor another soldiers memory.

The next two quilts that Meredith made on the left were quilted by Ron O in New Mexico. They make a great team.
I really enjoy laying all the quilts out in my front room, I get to put the on the sofas and the ground in front of the sofas - it is really better than decorating for Christmas. ( which of course needs to be done before.... Friday ( acck) )
And the last two quilts that Meredith made were quilted by Sharon B in Nevada. See - that girls quilts get around don't they? I love being able to include all this info on the labels of the quilts. Meredith did a great job of doing it on her lables. The soldiers are really amazed to find that people all over the country are thinking of them.
Hope you all are having a great weekend. We were DONE with school yesterday, went to swim practice and swam then ATE. The kid's favorite activity. Today we had a basketball game, and then.... other than practices I think we get to relax for a week. Yay....

Oh and One more customer quilt to finish..... Have a great one....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! In Austria the tree does not go up until Christmas Eve and comes down before New Year's Eve - so just adopt Austrian decorating habits as your own! We only have the Advent wreath and a bowl of oranges/peanuts out, plus a small collection of tiny rhinestone trees. We even wait to the last minute to make the cookies or otherwise we will eat them! Cheers! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia, for kind words - it was a pleasure making this quilt for a soldier. Hope it finds a good home.
