`
My week was a little crazy but it totally keeps me out of trouble!
`
First - I only got 1 Quilt of Valor quilted. It is of the wonky log cabin practice blocks that the 5th graders used to figure out how the machine work. We have a special WWII Vet that we will be giving this to at the school.`
Julia - who does Quilts of Valor in our Neighboring state of
Nebraska - where most of my dirt now lives, is doing a block drive for some signature QOV blocks. So I had to try to see if I could make some. I got 4 made - not a lot , but 4 less she will have to worry about!`
One of my goals was to finish Step 5 - Still NOT done, but at least I have FINALLY Finished part A of it!!! I am calling that progress!
`
We Also did a little bit of Easter Egg Dying, which I realize has nothing to do with quilts - but it was fun, and messy, and fun!`
And I just had to show you the stack of boxes from just 2 days ( Tues and Wed) and I have opened A LOT of them!!! You may not believe this - but there is a chair hidden behind that stack. Is that not Cool!!!
`
My guys that I work with at Ft Carson called and asked me if I knew about these games, and who should they contact to see if we could get a Quilt of Valor to each of these Wounded Warriors. I was PROUD to say Quilts of Valor is already on it.... So very very cool!
`
`
So that is My Quilters Accountability in a nutshell this week. I guess I can't tell you if I succeeded in meeting my goals or not, but I have had fun. And tonite - to me that is all that matters!
